I recently had my SFCs installed. Here's what they looked like all nice and painted:



As others have discovered, sometimes the exhaust hits against the DS SFC. The easiest fix is to wrap the SFC w/ radiator hose. My shop suggested cutting the exhaust and moving it slightly to avoid any collisions (seems to be working so far):
