It doesn't even get close to 1000 degrees. It would sieze the motor before that happens.

If that's a STD Bonnie there isn't much you can do about the headers short of a ceramic coating. The headers on a STD Bonnie are single wall and I have yet to see one that isn't blue after a while, seen many blue before they are even sold.

My headers are cermachromed. Not as shiney as chrome, more like aluminum. Looks good to me and no more blueing.

My T100 had headers blues all the way to the mufflers, even with the AI removed.

Isn't dark bluing mostly caused by excessive heat, mostly by runing too lean?
