I ones I have are aluminized steel.  This is a corrosion preventative
treatment.  I have never heard of this part in stainless.
Just FYI.

Subject: Stainless Exhaust Parts

Does anyone know if anyone anywhere manufactures a Stainless Steel J-pipe
for the 1.9L Wasserboxer? (Preferably WITH the pre-drilled/tapped O2 sensor
hole)
If so, does anyone know the approximate price?
With the normal aftermarket j-pipes from Bus Depot selling for $80, you
could probably save money by replacing one of these every 10 years but the
stainless exhaust still intrigues me.
