Default Chrome tip yellowed

Hey guys, I just got back from my guys only camping and fishing trip. After washing all the mud off my 06 fx4 screw I noticed that my chrome magnaflow tip has yellowed pretty bad. Not sure if it was from all the mud baked on or what. I washed it then scrubbed it with an s.o.s pad and used some mothers chrome polish. The tip shined up but it's still a golden yellow Any tips on products or suggestions is appreciated.

are you sure it was chrome? stainless steel turns a golden color with heat.

I know it happens often on the stainless tips. It happened to my magnaflow tip. I tryed Eagle One Nano Polish and that helped allitle bit. I would just polish it every time you wash it if you can. Also maybe try Wire Wheel cleaner may work?

Hmmm it probably is stainless. I just assumed it was chromed. I'll keep polishing it and see if it helps if not then I might have to replace it with a double walled chrome one.
