Just put a fmf megabomb header on my crf250r and it turned blue after one ride. Why is this?

On some exhausts, the location of the discoloration can indicate either a lean or rich running condition, however, I'm pretty sure it's just a normal characteristic of Titanium.

I went to go check out his account, and someone beat me to it.

Post quality counts.

personally, id pay extra to have it look that way..something so beautiful about that discoloration

probably has something to do with my infatuation with case hardened firearms, but i digress

i do believe that gold wrench end piece is a coolant temp sensor. plug is behind it.

It changes to match the color of your powerband. Be glad you got blue and not pink.

Not that its on point, but I borrowed my buddies road bike and brought it back with a blue header pipe and he yelled at me for riding with the choke on before it warmed up fully.
