Do they both use the same (relatively hard) copper/asbestos gaskets as the clamped-up system ?
And do the pipes have a flange at the end or is the joint at the heads made using just the square-cut pipe ends ?

My Monster setup utilises a short pipe inside the head, held on by the plate. This pipe seats against the existing surface so I use a conventional Monster gasket, this pipe has an ID to suit the OD of the exhaust (45mm) into it and has a small internal seating flange for the pipe to butt up against and the springs pull the pipe up to it.
916 uses a different manifold design (like an intake manifold) and has a flat metallic gasket between head and manifold, the pipe then sits onto the manifold pipe using springs, as per the joins on the Monster pipework.
Mine on the Monster is from Madasl so as per the pic in Yorkies post but if you want any pics of anything I can take them it is currently all off the bike because I've got the cylinders/heads off at the moment for bore replating.
