Buschur racing exhaust tip turned gold???

Bought the s1 kit from bushur a few months ago. Love the kit! But for some reason My exhaust tip has gone from silver to a gold color! Anyone else experienced this? I got the magnaflow muffler if that matters at all. I have tried to wash it off, but no luck.... It kinda bothers me... any ideas?

Take a little window cleaner and some fine steel wool to it. My exhaust tip on the ends turns a little black and takes it rite off.

thats from the stainless steel "discoloring" from the heat, just take a all wheel cleaner or any other ph based cleaner to the metal part, clean well then buff with metal polish, it will be come shiny chromish color again!

Wheel cleaner with acid usually cleans that stuff right up.

Stainless steel does that with heat. I'm not sure what you can use to bring back the silver out, try using the products mentioned above.

Mine did that after a trackday, usually some metal polish and some elbow grease will get it back to original. I like it gold though, mine has turned a little blue on the end now too!!

Mine turned gold too... But I only notice it when I painted my stockers gold! Then it really stood out. Now im back to black wheels and I dont notice it. Just tell everyone that power changed the color!
