Heat does that.. Plus if you didn't clean your hands prints off it burn in also..

Heat.
Look at any Bike. ceramic/jet coat keeps headers looking clean under hood & moves heat away from engine compartment. |

My derby car headers blue..
Part of it was because I was running the engine rich.. If it would of been dusk, people would of seen a nice blue flame coming out of them.. |

Even if they aren't new, you can send them to jet-hot and get a nice ceramic coating. Pricey, but worth it IMO.
Check it out. http://www.jet-hot.com/headercoatings.html They coat them inside and out by the way. Clears a lot of the heat out from that area of the engine. |

These are my coated headers and midpipes. Stil looking like new after several thousand miles. Worth the money. THe coating also cuts down the engine compartment heat a little as well. Jeanius, which headers are installed on your car? They all color some but that is as bad as I have seen and I can understand why you are dissapointed.
