For those of us who don't have the blacked out Yoshimura pipes i mean.
Been looking for a miracle snake-oil to keep my headers from looking blotchy and discolored (at least not discolored in an ugly way. i've seen some pretty ones).
give me your product recommendations!!

Search will be your friend, but, for those who refuse to accept that Honda designed these pipes to go bronze and blotchy, Optiglanz is said to give, good results with only modest effort required. Failing that, have them JetHot coated.

searching was my first instinct. it yielded moderate results. Starbrite and Mother's seemed to have an affect, but swear i see pics of bikes with 30k miles on them where the pipes are bronzed, but not at all blotchy. i wanna be like that when i grow up. i will look into this optiglanz, and whatever else gets recommended.

Search for optiglanz. Should yield some results. It was talked about often enough.

This may be heresy, but I kinda like the "golden glow" of the SS pipes on my 14 Std. Read a story once where Holman and Moody advised that the way they get the finish on the original GT 40 headers (not Ford reboot) was to wipe them down with WD40 and let the heat go to work! I have tried this and it produces a very even golden color.

I'm with you and mine are evenly colored.
