The difference in curve is due to production techniques with roll benders on the original; dies on the reproduction. Roll benders are extremely expensive so few shops have them which is why I've been having trouble getting the tailpipe made for my 1951 Henney-Packard! These long, smooth bends are not possible with standard die benders as it would take a massive die and a tremendous amount of force to do it. It should have anything to do with the vent leak, though.
