Default new header

Is the new chrome (was) header supposed to turn brown after a couple days?

They were chrome yesterday, now they're brown. That's pretty damn fast. That normal?

Headers will do nothing for your car expect make it louder, you will see no horse power gain out of it, already been stated. Just want to throw that out there.

They're referring to the D17 in 2001-2005 Civics, not B-series motors.
