Just curious as to why these collector designs are so different. Anybody know? The one on the left came stock on my 78 Jarama. The one on the right I bought from Slater in 79. I never noticed the difference before.

Lee is spot on. See the left one has bent tubes, the other one straight ones that are just welded together in angles. Both are crap though, maybe the later one more than the original one...

Take a look from the side with the 3 pipes and look to the end of the collector. You will see a lot of edges, potentially even that the two tubes at the end of the collector protrude into the big collector tube - not good! Also - at least on my Keihan collector - the tube did not have the right volume. at high revs, it turned bright gleaming red...  :o

compare what you see with the picture below. the closer you get to this, the better the collector is at this area:
