Hmmmm... I'm not so sure that would work directly bolting on out of the box but I'm sure you could make it work, Cause as I believe on the RB website the exhaust for 1983 is specific they have for 81-82 then 83 only then 84-85 so there must be something special with the 83?.....

no dude it wont work...so tell me where i can pick it up

actually my neighbor has done this, put a RB exhaust from an 83 onto a 79. its an older style. original back from the 80's. it wasnt that big of a deal, but for some reason it hangs pretty low for comfort.

it will bolt right up, no problems at all.

You can even make the later model pre-silencers bolt up to the Sa stock connecting pipe.
