chrome headers

has anybody on here used chrome headers? how quickly do they turn all rainbow-colors? is there any way to slow or try to prevent that? my dad used to ride bikes and said he'd keep his chrome pipes chrome by spraying white header paint on the inside of the pipes, dunno if it'd work for cars tho.

ive never seen a set that never turned colors

you can pick up ceramic coated headers, that look chrome, and wont rust/change colors
It's Gumby's fault.

My chrome BBKs rainbowed first time it was started, they've been almost black for about 4 years now... No rust though...

My chrome ones are still chrome , and they are a couple years old.  The motor that they are on has been pounded at the strip too, so they have seen some heat.  Just up around the  has started to turn colours.  Mine are the 1 5/8" Mac shorties.

And I made a mistake.  My headers are from BBK not Mac, and they have changed COLOUR! :flip:  Must have been from the couple times I buried the tach needle (past 7000rpm :evilgrin: )while I was pissed at it one day.

Macs are good and so are the BBKs  U have seen other brands change color alot sooner.
