Subject:      What kind of metal is this? (Jetta exhaust part for my conversion)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hi all.

Well, am somewhat embarrassed to say that I didn't check to see what kind of metal I was playing with. I was just about to tack it in place when I noticed it wasn't attracted to the magnet I use for holding the work.

Here's some pics of part. Its' the "Y" I cut from the Jetta downpipe:

There appears to be corrosion inside, but maybe not the pipe reacting.

It is not attracted to my magnet. (how I found out)

It feels too heavy to be aluminum and doesn't grind/file like it either.

SS?
