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.

RC barrels as well?
Did the seller tell you the size of the engine?
The wide rear spoke wheel is also of interest to me. The struts not so much. haha.
Greg, got any more pics of your new hot rod?
