I received my exhaust headers and mufflers back from NitroPlate about 10 days ago but just found time this evening to unwrap them. They look very nice. They ceramic coat everything inside and outside - even the SpinTech mufflers from what I can see. They swear that this will not be a problem with slip connections but I remain a little skeptical. I'm anticipating I may have to remove it from the inside surface of the collectors (sanding drum on a drill probably) in order to seat the exhaust headers. I'm going to use the slip connector sealant that ERA recommends (see pic) which may add a little lubrication to seating the connections. I also got my copper exhaust gaskets so I'm ready to go. Now if I can get all of this installed without scratching anything.

I need to also fill the cooling system, hang the dash and plug in the harness, install a battery, run a pre-oiler in the engine and it should be ready to fire up - hopefully.
