    If the head is off , you can tell by the color , Stainless is lighter in color than Titanium

    A magnet will not stick to Titanium at all

    the stock valves: intake titanium, exhaust low grade stainless.

    high grade stainless a magnet will likely not pick it up. on low grade stainless a magnet will.
