Default Ceramic coat rush exhaust question.

Unfortunately I have just been laid off work so my plans for a full stage 1 setup are now on hold. I have decided to go with the rush slip ons for the time being to save some money and still give my bike a little bark. I have gotten a really good deal on the mufflers but they are chrome. I would like to have the mufflers and the heat shields ceramic coated black. My question is am I going to have any problems installing the mufflers with the ceramic coating?I dont know if that little extra bit on the diameter will make it difficult to install them. Any info would be appreciated.

I'm not sure about ceramics other than on my racecar headers but I don't think you would have an issue installing them as it isn't all that thick, it does change color when hot,(just a shade or two) great idea post some pics when done. The rush's get real hot right at the front of the muffler, mine did, used to get the heal of my boot marking them.
