Anyone else have these marks on their header pipes?

Okay one last time! Notice odd flame shape discoloration. It's on both header pipes at about same radial location.

It only happens on the fast ones and even more on black ones ! My fronts have the same discoloring
when welding stainless you get colors like that , But I suspect it's gas- oil or spray wax from cleaning ever see gas on water how it colors , or it could be just in the stainless and brought out by extreme
heat that is the hottest part of combustion but nothing to worry about though, My Ti Akro X pipe
is very colorful
