Hi, new owner here. I have 2015 fz 07 that the exhaust has been modified with a drill. I want to cut it off just past the oxygen sensor and weld a 2" pipe to the header then I can make my adapter to one of several choices of muffler cans. My question : is the stock exhaust stainless steel or mild steel with a coating of some sort.

I cut off my cat

Then I cut up this rusty old exhaust pipe I found behind the shop and welded it to the head pipe. The individual headpipes are stainless but the collector is some hybrid carbon/stainless that standard wire feed welding wire is compatible with

I gas welded this part because I thought I could do a better job...

Then I made a muffler hanger out of a piece of thick aluminum I found by the side of the road

I had this muffler left over from my dualsport bike. I wanted to keep the stock pipe on it so I wouldn't scare the friendly forest creatures. That doesn't apply on the street though.
I spent a little time fixing all the little exhaust leaks because that stuff makes me crazy.

And this is what it looks like. Just about zero cost for me and cleaned up clutter around the shop. I'd post a video but not sure how to. Basically sounds fairly quiet but you can actually hear the motor now.
