RC Pipe - Can't Find a Clean Kerker -
« on: March 24, 2016, 09:48:40 AM »
I've been looking for a Clean Kerker - no luck , So I came across this Clean RC for $150  . I think I will give it a try . What do you all think RC vs  Kerker ?

The only thing a Kerker could have over a RC is ground clearance..

They're both badass  ;D The RC is designed more for straight line acceleration due to less ground clearance IMO. Looks good. Sounds good. The Kerker has available street baffles and competition baffles. Neither of which are really loud.

RC is cult and I have not seen any good one like this for sale on eBay. I keep my eyes open now and then. 150 sounds very low for a good looking RC.
You need the K7 exhaust clamps with the plate stuff.
Is it for a K7?    For the older 69-76 the pipes use the old clamps and spigots on head?

Look like this? For K7, more angled

I remember the bad ground clearance. I hated to hear how the pipe scratched the ground where the 4 goes to 1. Curbstones between street and walkway, parking.

I had an RC on my '77K years ago and agree that the ground clearance is low.  I think they were mainly used for drag racing.  Also, because I have an oil cooler adapter plate, I had to trim the oil filter fins to clear the downpipes.  The steel on the muffler seemed to be a bit thin - it rusted quickly.  I now have a Kerker and have no issue with the ground clearance or the oil cooler clearance. The steel seems to be a bit better also on the Kerker.

On a side note - those Motogpwerks exhausts people have been talking about look quite nice and the price is very good.
