Keep lots of towels around me when doing exhaust. Put them anywhere I can to protect the finish.
I also wipe them done good with Alcohol before I start it up. I am not sure if this is needed on some of these new pipes but you could use to get fingerprints burned into the pipes the first time they got hot.

I wrapped my with plastic while getting them there,
I also sprayed gaskets with lubricant to get them in place,
your flange retaining ring should be ok, mine were lil rusty, new ones are .99 each, Torque flange nuts without heatshields,
use painters blue tape on any socket/extensions that might contact pipes/ heatshields. another set of hands might help.

it is a super easy exhaust to install. I recommend installing the heat shields and tightening them down before you install the pipes. I also recommend putting down a towel in case you accidently drop one of the nuts while installing the rear exhaust flange nuts. they can easily get lost in between the primary and engine and stuck there.
