Between the two I have had the Big shot longs and mine never discolored and they were great pipes.

The difference in these pipes is the diameter of them and the big shot longs also have a power chamber where the long shots do not. Of course the big shot longs cost a bit more, but they sound better and look nicer as well.

Out of curiosity I looked and the longshots do come with skins... so that's not it either.

Side note they don't make them for 07 and above anymore though.

I have V&H BSL's and have absolutely no problems with them. A bit loud for some folks but nothing BCT QQ2 Baffels didn't take care of.

I also have a SE A/C and use TTS Mastertune. Without the TTS it would definately be running way lean. As others have mentioned on this thread . . . if the owner didn't run some sort of fuel correction system or software I'm certain that would explain the high temps and the bluing that you mention.
