A tip from personal experience: clean the engine bay of dust before the ancillaries go on. It's such a nightmare afterwards!

take the time now, before runnning the engine, to remove all those stickers on the muffler parts, otherwise they will burn with the heat and leave ugly black stains on all the exhaust parts. You can use paint thinner to melt them and remove them.
ALSO, though I can't tell because of the angle, I think the two long pipes after the first little "balancer" muffler are reversed. The 2 Mufflers (the ones under the rear seat area), should go on laterally "straight", not angled as they are in the picture.

I left my stickers on but if a bit of burn-on worries you Acetone will take any black marks straight off.
Centre silencers/pipes are correct:
