Good to know. While I'd prefer a better metal, at least the base metals match up. I'm not concerned about possible insulation loss around the welds, or the rust-preventative qualities of aluminum. I'll be painting the exhaust from the point of the new x-pipe down with hi-temp flat black coating. That's what my WS6 had on it's custom 3" exhaust for 8 years and looked brand new when I sold it.
