Stainless steel quality for headers is it good??
 

The header pipe and pipe Dp de-cat pipe on my S4r has taken on a horrible brown finish ive never seen before, this is only after a total of 2700 miles and the de-cat pipe hasnt been on for all that time.

Guess it never happened on 748 or i never noticed it cause faring hid it. Exhaust on h o n d a never looked like this after many more miles.

Is this a sign of poor quality almost seems to be rusting when i wiped it down brown powder on cloth.

See pic:D

This is how it looked when i put it on :D:D

Hmm,to keep the pipes shiney,you have to polish them up once in a while.Dont confuse stainless with chrome.
Looks like normal everyday corrosion to me.(Damn those salty roads!)
I bet your 748 pipes were like that under the fairing.

The front pipe on my 748 is the same rear one is sparkly probably been cleaned more as you can see it...

I expect 748 ones were the same :lol::lol: looks like the autosol will have to come out down on hands and knees time:o:o

Or a belly pan maybe :D:D
