Default My headers arrived...

...quality of them seems quite good IMO. I know stainless headers will turn yellowish with the increase heat they are exposed to. Is there anything that can be done to preserve their nice finish? Thanks!

If you don't use them, the finish will not change. If you use a polish on the SS, and use them they will turn goldish-copper color w/ a really good shine.

If you leave them as is, it'll just turn copper color.
