Default Cross Bones pipes are starting to blue

Just wanted to know if anybody with a stock exhaust on a x bones or for that matter any new bike, if they can take a look under there exhaust shields to see if they turned blue, I only have a 175 miles on it and just put on a set of rush slipons with 1.75 baffles and really didnt notice the blueing till after I started the bike up for a few minutes, so they might have been blue already. the mufflers are fine just the pipes themself, by the way they sound good, not to loud but you just a deep note to them unless you crack the throttle.

Normal, thats why they cover the pipes with chromed heat shields. If you cool your bike down with a fuel management system or a SERT they may blue a little less, but bottom line is all chrome exhaust will blue when hot enough.
