Are you 12 years old and have problem with comunication ?
Are those faces meant to mean complete sentences ?
What do you mean are they stainless steel ?
First they where sold long time ago and new owner was super happy like I did . Second search is your best friend , fvd states this is T 316 stainless steel ( https://flat6motorsports.com/product...panamera-turbo) .
Also I am confused why did your scientific mind conclude that this wasnt stainless steel ? Have you ever seen or bough used exhaust ? Thet change the color and lose that shiny chrome look because of high heat . They looked like exactly like they do on the pictures on fvd site , same as fabspeed , same as supersprint , gmg or any other company .

I just posted simple, veeery simple question is it made from SS. Nothing else, nothing personal. I wasn't asking 'scientific' explanations about SS exposure to the heat, but anyway thanks for showing your knowledge and thanks for informing that new owner is super duper happy!
The ones you've had and sold were (are) 76mm BES.970.020.40S1
https://www.fvd.net/us-en/BES9700204...mm-system.html
and there IS NO INFO from what steel they are made !
I see that search is not your friend at all as you've provided incorrect link which is about these 63.5mm downpipes BES.970.022.40SHD
https://www.fvd.net/us-en/BES9700224...ll-hjs-hd.html
which are twice more expensive the ones you had and maker SPECIFIES THAT THEY ARE MADE FROM SS !
I do have full exhausts made from SS on my other cars ~3 and ~6 years old and they STILL DO LOOK like SS!
Usually and actually maker always describes that it is made from SS if it is and says nothing if it is made from simple steel, that's just my experience and that's why I came up with such question.
If you don't like people smiling I just can suggest ask yourself, keep asking continuously who has problem with communication, or simply talking just cool down!

Anyone done downpipes with stock exhaust? Sounds like from some reading that most of the power gain is in the downpipes. Nice sound increase? I'm interested in getting a little louder (but not excessively so, had my fill of that with my EVO). Prefer to put my money towards performance anyway.

I have catless downpipes on stock exhaust.
Mine is the NON sport exhaust (Still has valves that open at a certain RPM) but i cant manually open/close them. Well, i can manually open them by pulling the little hose near the tips as we all know.
So originally i had catless downpipes and 2nd cat removed with stock exhaust and it sounded great. When valves closed, very quiet and when valves open, it was loud but not terribly loud.
Then i decided to remove the resonators too. So basically now its straight pipe all the way to the mufflers.
I feel its too loud now. When valves closed its fine. When open though it really screams. Its not TOO bad, but its pretty loud.
The cold start is awesome though. Massive loud "bark" on startup. Sounds brilliant.

Could comment this from your experience? I mean that 'catless is not recommended at all' :

I never went the 200 Cell route, but straight to catless.
I have a VR Tune.
The car is solid in all ranges.
VBOX- CONSISTENTLY 3.6sec 0-60Mph
Quarter Mile CONSISTENTLY 11.6 (im pretty sure i posted my time slips up here somewhere before)
I dont feel any loss of power down low. Im not saying the other person talking about it is wrong, im just saying my experience.
