Magnex is the only one that has a silencer from memory all the rest are just straight through pipes.

Mild steel= Magnetic and rusts
Crap Stainless = Slightly magnetic (Feritic) and rusts slowly on surface
Good stainless= non magnetic and will not rust (cracks)
there are otherways to test stainless but i cant be bothered to type all night :nerd:
Aluminium would melt/crack and fall off so it aint that :smiley:
Is it a silencer or just meant to look like a cat? :wink:
