Will a titanium slip on blue with heat over time?

Fr333zy · May 25, 2011

Synopsis: I have a 2009 R1, and would like to buy a set of slipons

Observation: On my motocross bike, replacing the stock exhaust with a full race system, all the titanium blued over time as it got hot. I like how that looked.

Question: Would a titanium slip on blue over time?

Reason for question: I know headpipes will, but since I'm only asking about the slip ons, I'm not sure. On my MX bike, it didn't, because it didn't get hot enough. At night, if I ran the engine for a few minutes, the headpipe would turn a muted red, putting out light it got so hot. On the R1, I'm just thinking that the temp dies down by the time it hits the silencers, enough that it won't blue.

Anyone know if it will? I like how the blued titanium looks, and instead of carbon am thinking maybe titanium. I'm thinking specifically either the FMF Apex or the Yosh R77.

Please put an end to my dilemma!

Thanks

What if he heat wrapped the headers and link pipe(s)?

I guess he could give it a shot.... or just take a torch to them :lol

If the link pipes are titanium then they could absolutely blue over repeated heat cycles. You won't blue the actual silencers though.

my slipon link pipes and the headers are blue on my bike. some places bright blue and at some others slightly.

The y pipe aint Ti so it doesnt get blue (it should go goldish though).

The slipons themselves, the cans have blued at one point (talking about stock cans). That happened before i even skinned them and instered the AR kit. But no.. you wont get a blue slipon , full blue, just by use, u have to flame it.
