Question Slip fit collectors & ceramic coatings
The exaust collectors on my installation are a slip fit on the primary tubes. Currently they take a little massaging to get on when being installed. I am concerned that when a ceramic/Jet Hot or other similar type of heat barrier coating is applied to them will they be impossible to install because of the tighter anticipated fit between the collector and the individual tubes. Has this been a problem for those of you that have this type of fitament. Does the application of the coating create a problem or do they "Not coat" the part of each primary pipe that actually fits in the collector. How have you delt with it?

Thanks

Rick..........
