I think they're just aluminized steel....
They're definitely not stainless.
Hopefully someone can chime in that really knows.

I guess that makes sense, I was just going from the pics they have on there website, They look like there ceramic coated on there...but they couldn't be for the price. Any way I ordered a set for my Ceramic coated LT's my BBK X pipe is aluninized and it looks still new. So I guess it's a decent process. but I still think the ceramic coated looks best.

I have one in my garage and it is aluminized steel. You think for the price it would be SS?

For the price of a Dr. Gas welded up, I could buy a UPR X-pipe, Steeda Timing Adjuster, and Anderson Powerpipe/k&n filter....oh wait, I did.

Its up to you, but I know that I am making a LOT more power with these three mods combined then if I had dropped it all on a Dr. Gas, for about the same price or probably LESS.

Just for the record, I got my X pipe for $140, my Powerpipe setup for $150, and my Timing Adjuster for $120.

Hell, for the price of the Dr Gas welded/installed, I could buy a nice set of used longtube headers and a matching o/r midpipe and make twice the power or more. (considering I'd install the 'tubes myself)
