Default Thunderheaders discoloring???
I'm looking at Thunderheaders for my 08 Road Glide with a high output 103", but it seems that most T-H pipes I see discolor pretty bad at the collector. What kind of luck have you guys that have run T-H pipes had as far as discoloring? Thanks.

Mine are getting some discolorizations as well, I'm not to concerned about it. However you could always put the heat shields on to cover up the discolorization.
