I have had one on my 99 fxdx for about 5000 miles. Its wrapped to the y with black wrap so i dont know about the blueing there but it hasn't done it anywhere else. Chrome is good but I've decided I want a black one. If anyone wants to trade let me know. Or make me an offer for mine.

 

Mine are wrapped for about a year now. I think I'm going to take the wrap off, get them ceramic coated, and put on heat shields. Seems as though mine run a little hot with the wrap, but I also heard you can double wrap them if that's the way you wanna go.

 

Mines a few years old, no rust but I live in SoCal and we don't get much rain. I sprayed the hell out of them with VHT header paint before I wrapped them so that might have helped. All the stories about the rear bracket of T-Header breaking are the real old pipes, they now have a brace on that bracket. If you find a old T-Header you can also order the new style bracket that has the brace or just weld one in yourself - real simple.
