It's aluminum. Save up some money and get either a jetpro or a ddm dominator. Normally around $250 to $300 US but it will out last your rig.

I'm ordering a jetpro soon but I've had good luck so far out of the cheap pipes for the Mt but you have to cut them in half and use the silicone sleeve that comes with your stock pipe.It takes all the vibration out of it I guess I went through a couple pipes before I decided to try this.

Of course I used zip ties to clamp it with.

I think Jet pro is selling factory direct for some pipes. The factory is in Spokane, wa. about 100 miles from where i live.-- I had the owner mod the stinger - slightly longer for even more high rpm power years ago-- xb rear mount pipe. wwwjetpro.com. 831-234-2791. phone #.

please do not discard the cheap pipes when they break. I have another project in mind. I want the old broken pipes for one of my weed eaters! I will gladly send you a usps money order to cover your shipping costs. -
