Did the exhaust assemble without any difficulty after the coating was applied?
I ask because the slip joints are very tight with just the factory paint and need a bit persuasion to go together.

There is no factory paint on the BGM, or at least no on my version. Byron on here assembled it and from what I remember there wasn't any fitmment issues

As with any exhaust, make sure you properly relieve all the stress points. Don't just force it on and hope for the best. My slip joint is tight too but I just avoid separating it.

I spent a lot of time relieving all my stress points as I have an 8mm packer, therefore, I needed to. But, I didn't make it absolutely stress free. lammies vibrate a lot and mine still let me down at high speed on a French motorway when the tailpipe made a bid for freedom. Be warned ;)
