Need to hook the old gaskets out. But knowing Honda quality they would still work.

Did the collectors change during the years as mine is more of a rectangular box?

Did the collectors change during the years as mine is more of a rectangular box? There's some aftermarket ones that look like rectangular box section. You may have one of those. Post a pic so we can verify.

how well do those square jobbies work with the 250 engine? just out of curiosity When I first got my 250N deluxe way back in 2005 it was found to have one of these flat H boxes fitted. My opinion is that they sound quite tinny when the bike is revved, in comparison to the genuine item. They serve a purpose though of course.

I think they are straight through exhaust not the cross like the Honda but I may be wrong

The box section ones, as with the correct shape pattern collectors, don't have the cross over internal pipes. The internal cross overs are to extend the effective length of the medium/low pressure gas flow which has the effect of giving slightly more torque... There was a correct shape hollow pattern collector on my NHK 250, and I swapped it out for a genuine system on with the exception of pattern silencers, and there was a bit more torque going up hill back to the garage.. I will try and keep using original collectors on 250s, but no concerns with pattern boxes on 400s I anticipate.
