Re: header turning gold? (BumpinVTEC)
really thats a first.....i thought all stainless steel headers turn a goldish color.
i know my DTR FAB header, turned gold within the first 10mins of running.

Re: header turning gold? (yeer)
Maybe the color range changes to purple when it runs lean, hense untuned. For example, if you have a fluid or oil on the header and you run the car hard, such as a finger print, it'll turn purple... maybe because the heat? Just a guess that's what he means.

supposedly if you hose the header down with WD-40 it will make it turn a pretty bronze colour. Sounds good to me! As far as purple.. hmm.. maybe if there's oil or something on the header.

i think the only thing that would change the colour would be crappy stainless...or running to lean but i think that would make it more gold.....and i recomend wearing gloves when installing it and cleaning with brake cleaner afterwards....if you get a finger print or grease on it it will look lioke ***........if its clean it will be the coolest looking thing youve ever seen
