Staintune exhaust

Has anyone had there staintune mid-pipe on there 6th gen turn yellowish after a few runs ?
My turned a bit yellow a week after installed...thanks Pete

 

Probably oxidised

If it got a bit hot, it has probably just oxidised.

Metal polish will take it off if you dont like it.

 

All quality stainless steel will turn amber over time resulting from heat cycles. You can't polish it out so don't try. I think it has something to do with the alloy content which is why it's only the mid pipes that do it.

KC-10 FE out...

 

^ what Kc said

 

Sorry KC but your wrong
Heat causes oxidation in most metals. Starts off straw - goes to yellow, brown, purple and blue. As the temperature increases. This is only on the surfce of the metal, which is exposed to air. Applies to stainless or carbon steel, and other alloys. Which means, its only on the skin of the steel.

It will polish off, try it. if it doesnt, let me know and im a dick.

 

A bit off topic but where are you guys getting your Staintunes for the 06 models from? and if you dont mind me asking at what price range? Should I be able to order these from the local dealer or do i need to get em from a tune type of shop? any help is appreciate. thanks.

 

Depending on the shop they can usually order a system if they are a dealer. Check the Staintune website.... They have a list of dealers in each state. I found out my local dealer has access to them even here in Rhode Island. Back on topic, I had no idea that discoloration comes off!!!! I don't mind it on a polished pipe but its nice to know it can be taken off.... I'll try this weekend. Any reccommendations on what to use?

 

Thanks to all for the advice, will try some type of polish when I get a chance. I'll let you know the results.

Kanf,
I purchase mine from Mr.Ed's Moto http://www.mredsmoto.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=36&CFID=34444925&CFTOKEN=44229924 .
At the time I purchased them, Mr. Ed quoted me for around $810.00 with shipping. Try calling before you order. The current

web price shows for $899.00.
