Fujitsubo Question

Hi everyone, I just had a general question about the RM01A catback exhaust. That question is how do I know if I have the stainless steel or titanium version of this particular exhaust? The only things that I noticed about the exhaust are that it is a one piece CBE fit for a JDM rear (I haven't noticed any welds that would indicate it was modified to fit) and that it also has a JASMA certification on the canister area. If anyone could help me to figure out which one I have I would greatly appreciate it since I understand that the titanium version is worth quite a bit more than the stainless steel version. Oh and sorry in advance if this was posted in the wrong section.

Titanium is about half the weight of steel so if it is light it is either titanium or aluminum.

It will also get that gold/blue/purple look after its ran hard like u see on some tips from the heat.

Also im pretty sure titanium is not magnetic stainless is so take a magnet and see if it sticks.

I never really felt the weight since the guy I swapped with installed it for me. I did take a magnet to part of the exhaust near the resonator and the magnet didn't stick. How hard would I have to push the car for it to get that burnt look? A few 2-3-4 pulls? I'll take a picture as soon as I can.
