Default Stainless headers changing color pics

Does anyone have any pictures of the colors that stainless steel headers change. I recently picked up a set of QTP's and am under the impression that they will turn a golden color, which I think could look kinda cool. Just curious if anyone had any first hand experience with this or pictures!

Ti and stainless are a bit different. The Ti catback on my Z stays purple, blue, and gunmetal. The stainless will have a lot more bronze and gold in it, with some blues and purples.
