I’m still on the original exhaust from 09 . I believe it was silver , aluminised steel , with a stainless steel tailpipe , which can be polished up nicely if you can be bothered . If the tail pipe is stainless ( the actual pipe not one if those clip on trims ) it is probably original . If the tail pipe is mild steel it’s probably a replacement. 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

Mine was the same looked liked it was painted black and had peeled underneath leaving the metal. I cleaned it up and resprayed it with black BBQ paint, Not sure if it should be but certainly looks better. Also did the Tailpipe as well. |

Mine was also matt black, 2007 3.2 petrol, when I purchased it new. As with others, paint started to peel after several years. Approx. 5 years ago I cleaned it up and resprayed it with black log burner fire spray, and it's still in excellent condition. |

Going by what everyone has said I believe it was probably black originally. Thanks for all your help. |

Supposedly, the exhaust on our FL2’s is stainless steel, not a very high grade, but not aluminised mild steel or painted. |

Landrover always used low grade stainless steel for the exhaust system, which is why paint doesn't stick for very long. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.
