FourTuned was a company which made headers and exhaust 
systems for VWs. They made a pretty good product and I used 
them for a number of years. I think they may date back to the 60s 
and they are mentioned in the Bill Fisher book. 

Gene Berg used to sell their stuff, but something happened to them 
maybe 12 years ago. I have a rather old memory of talking to Gene 
on the phone when he told me the owner had died and that his 
widow was attempting to carry on the business. I think Gene's 
quote was something to the effect of "That woman doesn't know 
how to run a business." Gene sounded angry, but I really don't 
know what the problem was. Around that time Gene started selling 
Phoneix headers and the FourTuned phone went dead.  

I think they are out of business and have been for 10 years.
