Technically, the Cross-over Pipe is not obsoleted, just not available at any
Depots or Dealers (ran a check) according to my VOA contact.  It's just that
they're VERY slow in coming from Europe.  My contact also noted that it is
not slated to be discontinued anytime soon, at least according to his list
in front of him (but ya never know).

At VWG, we are in the prototyping stage of reproing this item, probably to
be available sometime during 2006, possibly late summer.

And yes Ken, before you ask, we are still testing materials to make the air
intake elbows as well in 2006.
