gs750 1977 Exhaust header seals

[ybot1966]

After removing a exhaust header pipe, i have a 5" tubing which slides to the end of the flared pipe header, they are sold on ebay as "exhaust" seals", not sure what job they do, should they be coated with any sealent before fitting the exhaust?

Not clear what you're on about. Have a look at the parts diagram in the link below and let us know the part number / diagram number.

Ive looked at parts diagrams and they dont show the small tubing i have around the end of the header pipe, it looks like the connector muffler in the diagram below but but is held in the port by the finned exhaust clamp, i suspect its there to widen the pipe as its a 4 into 1 which apperas to be somewhat customized.

If what I think they are it slides along the header tube up into the head port to hold the pipe in the head..no sealant on those its just a clamp that holds the pipe into the head.

PS: a quick photo would be great to help clarify what it is too.
