Is there any way to prevent Polished Stainless Steel turbo manifolds from turning DARK PURPLE?

I'm about to my new turbo manifold on and I would like to keep my mainfold a "Gold/Bronze" color. My friend has a polished stainless steel inline pro manifold and it looked nice at first but now it has turned very dark purple.

 

its from heat.

the way to stop it from turning color is never install it.

 

Because I've seen some people's setup (Hytech Manifold) and it seems as though their manifolds are always "Gold" in color.

 

Wipe off any and all oil residue after you've installed it. Usually, if using your hands, the oil from your hands itself can make it turn an ugly color. Wipe it CLEAN before starting the car. Some say even wipe a coat of WD40 on it to get it a golden color. But I haven't tried that, so just keep it clean.

 

The hotter it gets the more purple it will go nothing you can do about it really. Why dont you get it coated?

 

Clean with brake clean before

 

jet hot coat it wd40 works

 

If you like the raw stainless outside, you can use a ceramic coating on the inside to prevent blueing. They do it on hot rods and whatnot.

 

Properautocare.com sells stainless and chrome metal cleaner under the motorcycle section... they claim it removed the blue color off of an exhaust pipe and restored the chrome finish without scratching.

 

yeah, if you jet hot coat it, it wont turn the blue color.

 

Is jet hot coat a CLEAR coat?

It's a ceramic coating. It could be clear...

all you need is the correct coating on the INSIDE of the runners. it's been done before.

 

the jet hot ceramic coat looks exactly like polished stainless...
