looks like you also have some purple in that. purple just means the properties of the material have been severly/drastically changed. as long as you dont get holes in it your fine

On the topic of pipe blueing, here's a Victory that I found. You can enlarge the pix to see some blueing on the bottom pipe. Just wondering how much of an issue it might appear to be on this bike.

The only thing I would worry about the outside is rust and holes. The inside is a different matter as someone in this thread already pointed out.

thats an interesting photo since bikes get the blueing effect on either the head pipe or that area, where it appears a slip on is installed.
Might it be that the slip on pipe was not installed correctly or since thats where the two pipes connect other things are going on.
and though this has nothing to do w/ pipe discoloration, i thought this link was an interesting way to wake up your V Star.
Seems all they do is slash your pipes....and instant loudness...
