Thanks Allen! I looked through a 1000 page Honda manual with no index and they do not mention it. Clymer just uses a "crisscross" sequence sentence. Exhaust's can be a b(!) so I just wanted to do this right and do it once. Positioning it right is the main thing I guess, but starting from the 2 center pipes will assure they are the most correct (and they get the hottest too). Dang, I knew I wanted to ask the Honda mechanic something else on Saturday when I was asking if the Exhaust pipe gaskets could disintegrate (ha ha).
