Get them ceramic coated and they won't turn any color.

I'm with scorpio. If the pipes are 316, or similar, they'll go blue, eventually. The yellow, as from the heat that's transferred from the exhaust outlet. The hotter the stainless gets, the more colour bands will appear. If you caine the sh#t out of it, there will soon be a purple band, after the blue. Don't worry about trying to polish it out, as it'll just come back. Once the colours start to be really vivid, they'll look great, anyway.

Heat is the key. The leaner the engine, the more yellow and bluing you will see. Don't the heatshields cover the pipes completely or are you noticing at the head pipe? Did you happen to go to a larger (more open) air cleaner?

Mike Hunt is correct. The underlying plating may be seeping through when the pipes are at operating temperature. Use the Brasso and lots of elbow grease.

You may want to recalibrate the carb anyhow, if you're not the first owner. Could be from the elevation you're at?

if your pipes are made of stainless steel (a good thing) then very soon they will have a blue tinge as well, this is normal.

To hot.
Do not use that Brasso crap, it's so slow.
Use FLITZ, the marine polish, it's super fast and no hard work.

From the heat.
