usually I dont care about cosmetic things, but I am about to put on a new arrow header and its going to look like garbage because the oem pieces that have to be reused.
The front pipe is almost completely blue, is there any way to restore it to silver?
Yep, a few bucks and a bit of elbow grease:

By the way, for those looking for a before/after, I just posted some on the original tutorials thread for this technique. My exhaust was about as dingy as any I've seen, and it ended up looking pretty much brand new. (If I had taken it off the bike to do this, it would have looked perfect, but the parts you really see look great).
bond0087,
Your pipes came out great. I'm gonna invest in some gloves and start working on my pipes. We have rain forecasted for the following week, which will be a great opportunity to take care of business.
