Welcome to the forum.

Metal polish and hours of your time will get them looking new. The new look will last about 20 minutes into your next ride. If they are chrome they will start turning golden blue. If they are stainless they will start turning crap brown. If you can't live with the color you can see about a ceramic coating for your headers. Google jetcoat, for example.
