Perhaps also tape the split collars together. Idea being to help keep all the components from separating and falling apart during installation. Such as gaskets falling out of ports, and split collars taking flight. :pinch:
Ah, good tip and I just had a "why didn't I think of that?!" moment. I was just struggling through this a few weeks ago. I knew the tip of using some copper sealant to hold the exhaust gaskets though I did not use it. But I was having a heck of a time keeping the split collars in place when trying to get the exhaust in position and felt like I needed just one more hand. Taping them together would have worked perfectly! I'll try to remember that for next time.
