I have a titanium exhaust on my motorcycle that is turning brown from the heat . My question is ... Can I get this off somehow and make it look new again ?
Here is a before and after picture of it .

I never tried it but they do have chemicals like "Blue-Away" for that. Maybe someone here has tried them.

BTW, flat black is very popular nowadays...

You can buff it like SS with a sisal buff, just use the compound more often and expect it to take a bit longer. You can forget about sanding it, I found that buffing it seems to move more metal than most sandpaper. It can be brought to a very high luster, it just seems to take forever. The bluing will keep coming back, there is nothing you can do about that.
If you buff it you will have to buff all the visible areas because it will alter the look of the original finish.
