I was think9ing about getting chrome or stainless headers and was wondering how long it takes for them to start changing colors.

If I remember right, Crome turns gold and stainless turns blue, Pick your color.

Yep, that is why a lot of custom show car builders hate it when they have to start the cars up.

yeah it heats up fast and burns fast.

if u have a rainbow effect the material of the header is either eh.. or u got some stains on it and its burned in..

my aftermarket header sitting in my room has some thumb prints burned into it. heh.

and its turning gold/brown I believe.

I dont even know why they bother having it chrome and stuff.

Hey capyoda, I'm looking to buy a header. Is that header something that'll fit a 7thgen and something your wanting to sell?

That "cool" effect is called "bluing" or something to that effect. It'll happen because of the high-heat from the exhaust. Sometimes it means a car or Bike is running too hot when it does this.

I know you're looking to have it happen, but if you're trying to prevent it, there is a chemical for Bike exhausts that is an anti-bluing agent. It'll keep it nice and clean. I personally like the blue titanium or burnt look on the JIC exhausts...wish they weren't more expensive than brain surgery [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

I think i might sell it if I get around my lazy butt to fix it..

ther's a bolt stuck in the hole.. and I haven't finish drilling it out ... I think the hole needs to be rethread too.. so... never got around to fixing that.

I duno, I might keep it too.. I think it really gave some power.. the rpm climbs much faster in the low end. I've been driving long enough to notice that.. at first I thought it was in my head only but the rpm clearly reaches certain points faster... and takes just a bit less rpm than at certain mph.... (ie: usually I'm going 60 mph in 5th gear and its 3,000 rpm.. but now its 2,900)

but yeah it could just be good driving condition for the mph instances.

 

DransifL I've heard of that agent you can put inside the header to slow down to the bluing process. Do you have any idea where I can get that done
