    So does the new muffler weigh more or less than the one you took off?
    My Ti mufflers are noticeably lighter then the the OE Pipes I took off.

    Now that could be because the OE pipes are double walled and the TI pipes are single walled but i bet that muffler is pretty quiet as it is a pretty large size for a 250.

    I had a small window to throw it on after work last night. In my haste to put it on...I forgot to weigh them against each other to compare. :banghead:

    Take a very strong magnet and touch the can. If it's slightly magnetic, it's stainless. If it's not, Ti

    The magnet test could work but keep in mind not all S/S alloys are magnetic, in fact most are not.

    300 series stainless steels contain a higher amount of nickel and are not magnetic. These S/S alloys are considered "austenitic".
    Its the quantity of nickel in the Stainless alloy that makes it magnetic or not magnetic.

    400 series stainless steels contain steel and chromium but don't contain Nickel in their alloys and they do in fact have magnetic properties, they are considered "martensitic" or "ferritic" S/S. These alloys are not often used for consumer goods other than kitchen cutlery and other utensils.
