Exhaust colour change

Probably a stupid question so please forgive me but for my peace of mind I have to ask.

I have termi slip ons and lately the silver end has started to change colour. It it now turning an ever so slight yellow/brown/goldy colour. I am assuming it is from the heat generated from the exhaust and I know it is bound to happen but I just wanted to check with anyone else who has this happening too.

I also ask because I recently flashed my ECU with tuneboy software and didnt really get it dyno'd so just want to make sure that the change in colour isnt due to an improperly tuned bike.

The bike runs fine by the way and well within temp specs.

Worth a shot, the colour doesnt really bother me but I just wanted to check if this was the norm.

Thanks

Nothing to worry about, I just polish it off every few thousand k's with a green pot srubby thingy

Use a regular microfiber and some stoner glass cleaner, spray it on, wipe with some pressure and you'll slowly start to see it fade away. I do it every 2/3000km's and she always looks purtyyy.
