Default greddy ss header question(colors?)

i searched and found no info on this so what will the greddy SS header look like after some use? i heard somewhere that it will begin to change colors, is this true? if so what color will it ultimately end up as? thanks

"rust" is that for color reference or will it actually rust? it's ss so it shouldn't. thanks for the pic, how do you like the header? any problems? thanks

ok so i JUST got the header in and upon examining it i came up with this question, my cat attaches to the stock exhaust mani with a weird connector and a donut gasket, but the new header doesn't seem to have room for the donut gasket, is this normal? i haven't taken my stock mani off yet to examine it but it doesn't look like it's going to work... my car is a 94 EX with the d16z6 in it.

ok so i got the header in and after about a day it turned a beautiful gold color, now after about a week of driving(on and off of coarse) it has changed to a bluish purple, but it also has some little spots on it in many places, did i do something to stain it or is it usual to come in not solid color? thanks

yeah, those spot are your fingerprints. just letit cool off,and polish it with some mother's chrome polish (or metal polish, whatever) wipe it off good, and the spots will go away.
