the downpipes you are looking for are titainium the hotter they get the more blue they get they did it to mine you will have to spend big money though

Can always leave your bike on stand running (no air flow = blued pipes) I crashed my bike and bent the gear selector) had to ride all the way home in 1st down pipes turned blue for the 1st 8" no problem (but made my under 1000 mile two fifty look totally thrashed lol) someone with oxy acetaline gas welding kit could blue any shiny metal down pipes with a reasonable degree of accuacy too..............
