None of the above is true. Stainless steel IS metallic. All stainless
steels, with the exception of austenitic, are attracted to magnets. Even
austenitic stainless can be magnetic if cold-worked. There is plenty of
information on the web for stainless steel, including its magnetic
properties.

How do you think Midas and other companies that give life time guarantee on
their mufflers make money? It is the pipes that rot out and you will have to
pay for that to be replaced. I had a shop bend steel exhaust pipes for my car
and it lasted 12 years. The clamps always rot out, so you will have to keep an
eye for them and replace once every 3 to 4 years.
