sup man.
shouldnt really be anything, but if your nervous, a comp and leakdown test wont hurt.
if your running that much hotter, perhaps some blowby? looks like only bolt ons tho, so i dont see much harm from them. how old is header? still breaking it in?
HTH

header is about a year old..i used to run nitrous, but not so much anymore....it prolly is some blowby and i guess i'll pull the plugs out and check...and seeing that its running fine, im not too worried, i guess....i just wanted to make sure that i wasnt missing anything..

Did your primary just start doing that or what? If you touched that pipe more before you put it on, the oils from your hands will make it change color more than the other pipes. My DC header is golden everywhere, no discoloration, I cleaned it before I started it the first time.

edit: it could be as simple as there are more impurities, or the thickness of the wall of the tube, get a comp check, but I don't think it is anything to worry about.
