Pretty certain it is some sort of plastic onto the carb. It does however mate into a rubber trumpet located within the - for want of better words - the large collector. This is definitely a different material than what mates onto the carbs. Mine is the earlier US version by the by.....

All the ones i have seen are rubber, has a po done some sort of frankenstein repair?

The rubber may have gone very hard and brittle Bryan, therefore resembling plastic.
Bryanj:
Very true Julie, but if it is that bad they really need changing. Havent done a 400 for quite a while does DS do those for the 400 as well as the 500?
Oggers:
Nope - looked plastic to me, and I doubt very much if PO bodged it. Alignment dots on the collector and these stubs suggest it is original. Looks and feels very similar to the collector material. Hard and fine particles when subjected to a spot of grinding. Some melted, and it did give off a melted plastic smell.
