Russ Collins early exhaust. Not many around, that's why you don't hear much about them. Personally never came across one. But RC had a solid reputation and was performance oriented. If the exhaust is in line with that, it should be good.

I had a set on my 79. I loved them. In fact I contacted R.C. Engineering last year to see if they had any plans to start manufacturing them again. They are a little loud but look really good!

Agree that they are REALLY loud. Rode with a member at several early rallies that had them on his '82 and they made your teeth rattle.
