Hi ,

It's about a FLHTCU , ( year 2006 ) who has the exhausts which turn blue , how to avoid it ?

regards.

 

Don't think you can avoid it. Unless you buy an exhaust that is double walled. Think it is V&H that makes them. I just wait for it to blue a bit, and take a few hours with some Blue Job, and it goes away. I will keep an eye on this thread, of there is a way it can be done, you will find your answer here. Good luck, and Blue Job works great. IMHO

 

Thanks for your answer , I didn't know Blue Job , I'll try .

You said that even with an exhaust that is double walled they can turn blue ?

 

Many times the blueing of an exhaust pipe is from a lean fuel/air mixture. With the quest to make EPA happy, many new bikes come with a lean setting. The fuel remap, which is very common by many HD owners, will really help this. Study the many posts on the choices and options in this forum.

One of the causes for pipes turning blue is excessive heat. The stock settings run lean and even changing the cans can make them run hotter. The clamp on chrome covers should hide most of it from sight. If yours is a standard issue consider getting the injector program altered.

 

one thing about chrome turning blue ,it turns brown first and my handlebars on my 06 ultra are turning brown where they were bent during manufacturing.....

 

Blue Job will probably take it off, but once it has been discolored it will keep coming back. Even with a bike running lean a set of pipes that are double walled or have full heat shields should not discolor. Vance and Hines and Bub (as well as other pipe makers), are completely covered and you should never have a problem with them

 

Look at www.jetcoat.com there jetcoating prevents blueing, but not sure if they can do just the inside of the pipes, but looks good anyway, plus it helps retain the heat from your legs
