Yes, it's stainless (I answered that question incorrectly once and was immediately corrected). Even though it's stainless it still gets small surface blemishes in it.

He was just trying to talk you down in price.

My center muffler, which is leaning in the corner of my garage right now, looks exactly like the stainless exhaust, so I assume it's made of the same stuff.

Most exhaust is made from 3xx series stainless and that should be non-magnetic. Grab a magnet and see if it holds to your pipes and mufflers.
