Low grade stainless. Mine has 216 K and is still serviceable.

there are many grades of stainless, each is purchased for a particular purpose. If u have doubts in the future u can allways test its iron content using a magnet...the higher priced 304 ss exhausts have little to no iron in them and a magnet shouldn't stick to it....ive read before that the stock system is just aluminized steel.

Yeah, if I remember correctly the salvage yard guy stuck a magnet to the muffler and the pipe and said it was just steel. Somebody tried to tell me I threw out $1400 worth of stainless steel! That's why I asked. Kurt
