Default stainless header (not sure)

I am looking at buying a replacement for my cracked header and this one is a good price, however it is advertised as stainless and I think it is not stainless steel.

What do you think?

looked like plain steel to me, so I bought a polished one (not like it matters).

Yep its stainless steel I have one. Bought it because its guaranteed never to rust but it will discolor because of the heat it has to withstand. It will either blueish or start to brown.

Yeah that looks exactly like the APN header, which is stainless steel (just not polished as others have pointed out).
