when changing the piping did they use stainless steel pipes or just regular metal?

mine were done with mild steel not stainless. most meinekes dont weld stainless as it is harder and more time consuming. in my GTI i had a stainless system built at a fabrication shop but that runs more money nad i didn't feel like spending it considering mild steel will outlast my ownership of this vehicle.

same peple built a turbo back exhasut for my very first car 5 years ago and that exhaust still looks great.
