Over time, most exhaust tips will yellow due to extreme heat. Yours seem to be discoloring fast though.. just keep them polished

So do the exhaust tips with the blue at the tips not show that yellowness as much?

the burnt TI ones? I'm not sure about those. If it's double layered, then the yellowing is only on the inside of the tips, but if it's single layered, then the entire tip is subject to yellowing

Not sure if it's common with muffler delete in general. I read on magnaflow's website that all tips are subject to yellowing over time, so it's not that big of a deal (to me, at least). You'll have to polish them regularly or powdercoat them black I guess.

well i just cleaned the outside of the tip cuz of all the rain and it seems that most of the yellowing is coming from the inside. I guess i'll just have to powder coat them black :/

Right, the yellowing should only be on the inside since your tips are double walled. I would say to only polish the edge of the inside, since polishing the inner pipe isn't worth the work. No one's going to look inside your inner pipe and say they're too yellow anyway haha
