Damn it man, don't tell everyone, they'll want
some too!
My -guess- is if it's metallic, it's just some
balled up metal from the MIG/stick that didn't fuse into
the weld.
Looks cool though, might be some new heat exchanger
technology from pacesetter.

Mine didn't have any of the ***** when I got them, instead the collector was smashed on one side, both headers had decent sized dents in the pipes. I'd be happy with the white ***** at this point. grrr, frustrated right now.

Good luck on the install, can't wait till I get an undamaged set and install them.

Put them on, it's amazing what heat will do to styrofoam.
They will burn away.
