Yep, that's a Decat downpipe...
looks like it's been coated/painted to give it a black colour, the H&S pipes are just the same though... just silver ish...

In my experience, UHT paint looks good when first applied, but soon flakes off leaving a tatty mess
Stainless steel is made from mild steel and nickel. Nickel is an extremely good conductor of heat and electricity, due to it's properties it's used in electronic IC's (integrated circuits)

Although this may not seem like much of a flow hinderance. Having anything that disrupts flow that close to the turbine isnt going to help.
Hope that helps

Cheers for the comments guys.
I quite like the hayward system however its just not user friendly and i need something that is track friendly withou affecting my flow.
I'm going to wait a few weeks until my car is back on the road brakes sorted etc and go and see the guys at Simpson Race Exhausts.
Ive spoken to Matt @ SRE and he might decide to alter my current system to suit. However if i can afford it id like to try an even larger bore system maybe 3.5" or even possibly 4" from the turbo back to lose even more back pressure.
It ultimately comes down to cost so we shall see. If i was able to run an even larger bore system i could have a bigger silencer and reduce the noise and gain or even ratain my current flow levels.
We shall see.
