Are the exhaust pipes for a late 305 Dream oriented to right side, and left side, or are they universal?

Here's the set up on my CA78: Accel 140406 super coil, Accel coil boots and terminals, NGK 7 mm copper ignition wires, tinned and soldered to the terminals, NGK non-resister plug caps, NGK D8HA plugs. And it all fits under the right side cover. If you shop around the whole set up should cost you about $110. Certainly not OEM stock but far better performance and reliability.

And now the bad news: Your friends in the neighborhood with steroes are not going to be happy when you ride past their houses. The EM signaure of ths bike, set up as noted above, is truely spectacular.

Just an FYI, If you decide to go the 100% original coil route, make sure that the primary resistance is in the 4-5 Ohm range. Coils with resistances in the 1-3 Ohm range have broken down and the primary windings are shorted somewhere.
