Early ones are stainless, later ones titanium.
I guess you have a later one.

hi, I though all the 5pw models where all stainless, this is a dark grey one, thought the titanium ones have it wrote on them, looks like I need to
make a new end cap and seal it with rivets and paste, what do you think.

I have one of the blue / grey ones and that is titanium but doesn't say so on it.
I drilled the rivets out of the end cap and clamped a piece of stainless pipe over the titanium pipe, then put the end cap back on.
Mine hasn't been used much though - I made it for if my Westfield can failed trackday noise tests.
The R1 cans are very quiet.
