Can anyone tell me if these are interchangeable?

    I wouldn't count on it. The 750 headers will fit on the 650 visa versa but the mufflers do not interchange and I would guess the 700 is the same way.

    I just checked the CrossRef on the XJCD and as far as part numbers are concerned, the exhaust pipes and collector for the XJ700 are unique to that particular bike. Now, whether or not those other exhausts are interchangable is a different story, but like the guy above me said, I wouldn't count on it and I certainly wouldn't use a no-guarantee ebay auction as the means of finding out ;)

    The exhaust HEADER PIPES (or "headpipes") will most probably all "interchange" as far as physically bolting up TO THE HEAD.....but as far as being the same between all those different models, no way. The thickness of the tubes, the bend angles and thus their positioning on the frame, the type and style and mounting of the collectors and mufflers etc. are quite a bit different.....for instance, the XJ650 Maxim models do not even use a collector, and the mufflers are part of one long muffler/connecting pipe assembly (with a H-pipe, to boot).

    I saw that too the guy is smoking something. Nope. You really only need mufflers, keep looking. I'll let you know if I stumble on any and send this guy: http://motolane.com/ an email and see if he has any.
