Is Magnaflow for MCS all stainless steel?

I saw a couple of listings on ebay for magnaflow exhaust system for mcs part# 15742 but, it said "all steel construction with polished stainless mufflers & tips." Does that mean the rest of the pipes are plain steel? Thought the price of $525 +
$40 shipping was good unless quality not as good as other mco sponsors are offering for $600 + shipping. Is the magnafow for the mcs all stainless????

All stainless I think... tips and mufflers are "polished" while the rest isn't. I've got the Magnaflow and it provides a measurable bump in hp...but it's loud! Not a bad loud, but a very nice sound. The only bothersome part is the drone at high speed highway cruising, but you become immune to it quickly.

apexer - I'd check with one of the sponsors of this site before I'd buy that magnaflow off ebay, just to make sure you are getting the genuine article. Maybe they could tell you if the part number is correct.
I don't know of any knock-offs, just don't want to see you get something phony.
Call Randy at Webb, he'll help you.
I've got the Maganflow and love it. Yes, it is a bit louder than others, but it definetly has added some poop to the S.
Randy also sells them, but I don't recall the price right now. Benefits of buying from someone here is that you have some back up and willingness to assist you with any problem that might arise.
Sorry for being so long winded. Gook luck,
Woody

apexer,
I bought the Magnaflow for my cooper from the same vendor on ebay.
I think it was performancecurve, had my exhaust at my door three days after the order.
I didn't have any problems with this vendor.
you can save a few bucks, I think the average asking price is $ 600.00 plus shipping.

Have a good one!
Glenn

Thanks Mcooper, I'd guess that most of the mco sponsers get the Magnafow from a distributor and may even have drop shipped from the distributor. Would like to support our sponsers as much as I can but, saving almost $100 is hard to pass up.
