What 3" exhaust is this?

[Piano player]

What exhaust mid section is this? It came off my VF SSV Series 1 wagon. It looks like hurricane, but could just be a copy. It was too deep and loud for me so I swapped to stock 2.25" mid pipe, it's very quiet now. Just curious as to what this 3" system is.

Thanks, is it worth much? I am selling it

Well that’s a bit hard as idk if it’s stainless or mild but a brand new hurricane fatback goes for 1600-1900 depending on steel used. You could probably put it up for around 1200-1400 depending upon the steel

But seeing as you don’t have rear hurricane mufflers I would put it up for 800-900

I'd be happy with $450
Just have to wait and see
There are no rear mufflers included

How can I tell what steel it is made out of?

UPDATE: I have just tested with a strong magnet. The resonators (4 hotdogs) have pretty much no magnetic pull, but all other piping has strong magnetic pull. So that says to me that the 4 mufflers are stainless steel and the piping is mild steel.

Not necessarily, 409 stainless has magnetic properties.

A quick google search yields the following:

Some steels are only weakly magnetic, and some are not magnetic at all. Austenitic stainless steels like 304 or 316 stainless are good examples of this. ​

A ferritic stainless like 430 stainless steel, on the other hand, is ferromagnetic. Magnets stick to it. ​
