I believe the header in your pic is stainless steel. It just has not been polished.

Hooker makes headers and side pipes in polished stainless. You might try contacting them to see if you can order them unpolished.

XS power had pretty nice sidepipes that are all stainless. The welds are polished pretty well but might be the look you are searching for. Price was about half of Hooker.
