Header turned gold on first startup


Most ceramic headers have disclaimers saying not to do engine break in with a brand new coated header…
Everything I read said get the engine up to temp then shut her down which I did. I was pretty much at idle then blipping the throttle a bit here and there.

I did put a few more heat cycles on them and there’s a slight gold tint to the passenger header. Not the end of the world I guess.

Thanks for the input all!
