stainless steel

What does stainless steel begin to look like after some time (like 6 months)? Does it look the way it did when it was first put on? I think the guy that did my exhaust may have punked me and if he did im gonna ****** go there and kick his ***. I can't really tell all the way from the cat, but the piping that bends across the back bumper looks a little brownish and then the piping that goes from it to the muffler is spotless. #@$!%#@!

it also depends if it was polished stainless or not...my stainless exhaust on my crx just looked silver after 4 years of use...no rust, not shiny, not discoloured or nuthin!
