83 300sd flex pipe material

Is the exhaust flex pipe on an '83 300 sd made of aluminum or stainless?
I need to attempt to weld one up . I'm setup to do either with varying degrees of success , but I can't quite figure out the material on this one.
The flex pipe is only about 2 years old , but was snagged on a dirt road, so it's worth the attempt.
Thanks---------Robert

You sure it's not just steel like the rest of the exhaust?

Magnet won't stick to it.
