after seeing pictures of the s2's on this site I notice most of the muffler pipes are a golden color, mine are black or discolored. What works best to clean them to get that color back.

This is the best product I have found for cleaning up headers.

Eagle One is good stuff, but I like Mothers Polish. I use FastOrange hand pumice to scrub the rough stuff off, then Mothers metal polish to finish it off.

Send them to AAA Metal Finishers in St. Paul, MN to be electro-polished. No metal is removed, they come back looking like chrome and turn straw gold as they heat up. Look at the "Orange Bike" in the mirror thread. That's what they look like when done. Rickie shoots pretty picture of me riding down the road! It's pretty cheap too, they did two headers for $80.00 last year for me. No elbow work, looks better. Pair up with somebody!

What all kind of polishing do they do? Will they mediablast/polish powdercoated parts too?
