Yeah, some will turn different colors. If you want it to stay silver you need to take it out and polish it up every once in a while.

yeah like Kendall said that will happen usually from the heat...and when u install them its always good to wipe down with alcohol and dont leave finger marks cause when it gets heated up ur print will stay....unil buffing out or so..

normal, u must of gotten the polished header, should of gotten ceramic =D doesnt turn gold, they will turn purple to in time =D i kinda like the look after a while =D, but if u dont u should of gotten ceramic hehe... natural u gotta get it cerma chromed that polish can withstand 1800 degrees b4 turning purple, i dont think it would turn purple in a engine but thats just a quess so dont quote me on that =/

I love the color my manifold gives off, but for those who dont like it, i remember someone who recently sanded his header and brought it back to the original SS shine.

Good thing you got a SS, they have better thermal qualities and if you scrape it, it wont rust . Anyone got any good header cleaning tips? mines all dirty from winter and it needs a good cleaning.
