December 29, 2007: And here I was being so clever.
The new collector is actually much better than the original one. Unfortunately, it also puts the pipes slightly further apart. This doesn't play well with the inflexible header pipes.

Now that I know more about collectors, I'm pretty sure my original one is a formed weld-on unit with some tubes welded on the end. They're inexpensive, around $35 new. So maybe I'll order another one. I prefer that idea to the alternative of messing with the header pipes!
