Just curious because I was under the impression that the SLP mid-length headers were coated stainless. I bought a set and they appear to be coated mild steel because a magnet sticks to them. The previous owner didn't claim they were stainless so I'm not upset or anything, but I just thought that all of the SLP mid-lengths were stainless. I know at least some of them are because they are currently clearing out old stock on eBay and have a coated stainless passenger side LT1 header for sale.

Anyone have any more info on this?

Pretty sure their early headers were all mild steel.

Possible they are a magnetic grade of stainless? I think 409 is magnetic. It is what stock exhaust is made of, rusts but VERY resistant to rot through compared to mild.

That's what I thought at first, but the Y-pipe is not magnetic and looks to be 409 stainless. The previous owner told me they were mild steel, but everything I had read pointed to these headers being coated stainless and nothing else so I just thought he assumed they were mild-steel because of the fact they're coated. Like I said I'm not concerned about it, just surprised since I know they made them in stainless and had never seen anything that mentioned them also being made in mild steel.
