Polished Exhaust Headers

Not sure, but I’d bet it’s a nickel plating or something similar

Ive tried polishing my ti5 pipe from pro circuit. Not much luck. For whatever reason polishing titanium is harder than aluminum or steel.

What i ended up doing at the end is using a wire wheel to get the gray crap off and make the pipe bright silver, and then use a map gas torch to turn it blue.

Well, first of all, that is a brand new, barely ridden bike with a brand new pipe with little heat put through it (save for a torch to turn it blue and purple). It was likely polished using a buffing wheel on a bench grinder.

It won't look like that for very long once it gets excessively hot for an extended period of time. Just some temporary jewelry for a new bike build. Waste of time and energy for the average joe.

titanium can be anodized to look like that. Buff to a shine and the color stays. Shine fades though

Ti is really tough to polish or even clean up to be honest. I've put headers/skid plates etc in a nut blaster, sonic bath and I've tried buffing it with Autosol and a drill with some scotchbrite on it with minimal results.

The Blue color on the pipe is from the construction process of the TI pipe.
