Yep, must be baked on mud. Mine is holding up well after a year of service.

Just a suggestion.... clean the pipe and get rid of any loose debris yo can then use "NEVR-DULL". It works great on all the uncoated metal parts I've tried it on. Never used it on exhaust components though...

FYI - look at your local Harley dealer or auto parts store for it. Small dark blue can....

The header isn't stainless steel it's mild unpainted steel thats why it rusts.

According to the FMF website, the Power Bomb header is available in titanium or stainless. If it's not the Power Bomb header, then it very well could be mild steel.
