Ti Blueing?

I have the Greddy Titanium exhuast and love it, but when I left it with a local shop, it was completely blue, entire catback cept for muffler. How can i bring it to the original luster?

Dont get it hot.. ?
If you want it to stay that color, your going to have to have a seperate peice fitted on top of it to hide the blue (have a look at most harley exhaust pipes)

The coloration is caused by oxidation brought on by heat. You could try using steel wool or scotchbrite, but the instant you run the car again, the blue coloration will return.
