I just purchased the Alba Pipe kit For my YFZ Brushed finish, My question is. will the header discolor from the heat? I dont Like that look of the pipe when it turns a blueish color. i was thinking to have the header ceramic coated before i install it.

It's most likely. If you wanted to go ahead and ceramic coat it, I would. But the blueish color can be removed with Blue Away, which is like a chrome polish, or you can keep it from happening by cleaning your pipe with every wash.

Mine never blued until I skipped a couple times of cleaning it with a good chrome polish like mothers.


BTW, congrat's on the pipe. I'm sure it's going to be very loud, with a great HP and Torque Gain.

Yamaha660R, so now that it has blued can you polish the blue out? or would it be too much work.
