Are the Vams for sale? If so, who has them?
Thanks

I think Ed Klepeis might build you one for the right type of installation.
In other words for an installation that provides cold ram air for
the center pipe and enough room to have a large radius down pipe.
That rules out most tractor airplanes.

Paul,
In line with your own idea, if I understand you correctly.
My idea is to have longer header tubes and try to expose the whole Vam
muffler in a concave cowl section.
Two problems I see is supporting the muffler with longer headers - this
could be overcome.
The other problem is protecting the cowl from heat from the headers and Vam
body - this could also be overcome.

I believe with care, additional drag would be  minimal.
