The whole Triumph exhaust is Stainless Steel, even the cast parts. You can get rid of the discoloration temporarily by using a quality polishing compound. However, it will come right back. This is a characteristic of stainless and a lot of people like it- although some don't. It won't effect the longevity of the exhaust.

Someone on here took some time to wet-sand and polish all the cast stainless parts. It looks really nice when done, but it's a fair amount of work. I think it would be difficult to remove all the discoloration without doing this though.

If you want the Zard exhaust then go for it, but if you are just unhappy with the discoloration of the Stainless then I suggest some other alternative. Maybe have the whole system black chromed? That would look fantastic, and probably be less expensive than the Zard system! And Black Chrome doesn't discolor.

In my case I don't care. The discoloration is a badge of honor that says "Stainless." That's me. I just ride the thing.
