Yes, the 2013 and 2058 pipe sets are still in production and we sent a bunch of the 2058's to A-main a few weeks ago but they might have sold out since. Unfortunately we (and a lot of the other Italian engine manufacturers) are dealing with fall out from the pandemic right now as Italy was affected quite badly by the pandemic. The government put everything in lockdown there back in February shutting down all of the businesses/factories and they just opened up right around the start of June. Unfortunately on top of that everything in Italy is normally shut down for their summer holiday from August to September. The lead time on making engines etc is quite long so you are lucky if you are able to get more than 1 shipment out of Italy in that 2 month window before everything is closed for the holidays! So being candid availability of any popular items that are made in Italy (from any of the manufacturers) is going to be pretty limited the next few months until Italy opens up again and the manufacturers have time to catch up on production.
