Back in November of 2021 I contacted my friend John Herman at TEMPEST regarding their new range of air filters for GA aircraft. The idea was to encourage Tempest to offer an air filter for the Vans fleet and one that could also be readily available in other countries which is often not the case with K&N.
Here is the news I received this morning. And it is all good. The price is outstanding. I have worked on a couple of things over the years with John Herman and every time he has come up with a winner. Thank you Tempest and JH.

Vans store will no doubt be updated soon.
I hope everyone enjoys the benefit of this little project. Get filter shopping!

David,
It has been a while and I hope you are doing well.
I wanted to let you know that I was at Vans last week and met with Rian Johnson and Vans will soon be carrying our induction air filters. We now have two filters for Vans for which I have included the information below.
I hope this helps your efforts with your fellow Vans owners. Please let me know if there is any further information you need.
VAN’S (*Experimental Aircraft)
AA10-3260 E-3260 *Van’s Aircraft Using Filtered Airbox FAB-320-1
AA10-3450 E-3450 *Van’s Aircraft Using Filtered Airbox FAB-360/540
The AA10-3260 and AA10-3450 are our part numbers and in stock at Aircraft Spruce and will be soon at Van’s. Spruce has them listed on their website at $53.85. Other Tempest distributors such as McFarlane, Air Power, Superior Air Parts (Aus) and AirFlite will also be carrying them and can order them if they do not have them in stock.
Best regards,
