That happens to them. It's what happens when it heats up.

Rep Power: 0 chrome heat-warps really fast (color changing similiar to what happens to chrome cookware)...just a side effect of using something meant for trailer queen show cars that has low heat tolerance.....
you'd have been better off going with an aluminized header as they resist heat distortion better than chrome does...and they last a lot longer too as chrome will rust MUCH faster than aluminum coatings...but eventually the aluminum will "yellow" regardless....
oh well make that a lesson to you in your vain search for tha bling bling look hahaha....aluminum forever!!! chrome?? never!!!!!!!

----to answer the question --its the heat that changes the header colors. You dont want the purple header get a ceramic header
