Plain and simple: color change is caused by heat. Chrome pipes change to yellow and blue too. Most pipes are covered by heat shields to hide this. If you prefer you can have them wraped with pipe wrap.
I like how it looks, it was ment to turn out that way.
If you really want to pipes to stay new looking there is only one way..... Never run the bike!
Chose wisely.
