Its actually not heat. Its a chemical process with electricity and timing.

isn't it just oxidized titanium? cuz i have an oxidized titanium knife from kershaw and it looks like that

but anyhow i want that on my exhaust real bad too, but dont' think it'll happen, i can weld myself so i might eventually try to chop some of those off another exhaust and try to custom fit them up.
