Does anyone know why my headers have a gold tinge, I have Rineharts 4" true duals on a 2011 CVO Street Glide, is this normal? Is there anything that will remove that gold tinge ?

Just wondering if your bike was professionally tuned after they were installed?

Yes it was.

Discoloration of the chrome can be from many things, however heat is the issue. Overheated during the tune, incorrect tune , ridden with wrong tune before going to dyno.

Semi chrome is a great polish that will not harm the surface and works very good to remove the gold. BTW some pipes just are not great and nothing you can do to stop the change in luster

Thanks for the tip Steve. My muffler is discolored after my last dyno.
