[DML] Re: Another "header" post

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bare stainless will change color with heat. Take a look at the stock SS 
muffler on your car now. 

I have stainless headers and stainless exhaust on a couple of non DMC 
cars - It turns blue/brown (not heavy rust,just kind of brown) over 
time, with the color varying as you move away from the engine. We did 
finally have the stainless headers coated by a process called HTC 
Coatings, it looked like soft chrome when new but has since softened to 
a dull grey with another 15k miles of driving, but still no rust. And 
it did seem to cut the heat quite a bit. 

It's very hard/impossible to keep an exhaust system shiny if you 
actually plan to drive the car.
