Default side pipe and header question again

I'm still interested in "chrome look" pipes but I don't want discoloration on the collectors or pipes over time. If anyone can share your info I would appreciate it!

Chrome pipes will rust. Stainless pipes will turn gold(ish). Pick your poison.

The stainless discoloration isn't that bad and I've found Blue Magic metal polish works perfectly. Takes all of 5 minutes to clean the primary tubes. I drive approximately 20 miles over the weekends so I don't have to clean the tubes that often.
