Enrnst has been bought out by Dansk/Jopex (JP Group) this past year.  JP
Group has sent a flyer to me last month showing the Ernst line will be
re-purposed as a "Premium" Dansk Exhaust line, but they're only showing
Type 1 and Type 2 Exhausts for the 1600 based air cooled engine.  Nothing
has been said about continuing and Type 4 based or Wasserboxer based Ernst
products (yet).
