Unfortunately I don't think you will get anywhere with this.
Reading through the description they only identify the tips as 304 stainless, and the main piping as just stainless. This is a legal, but unethical technique for companies that use 4xx stainless in their products. It is common with manufacturers of domestic vehicle systems such as Dynomax, Flowmaster and Magnaflow to use inferior 4xx stainless. But out of these 3 companies, only Flowmaster is up front about using 409 stainless, the rest just use 'stainless steel', banking on the well known reputation of the better 304 stainless to lead customers to assume that is what they use. They don't.
This looks to be the same situation, but adding to the (legal?) deception by naming the tip-only material as 304 to further encourage the customers' assumption. Pricing it on par with true 304 systems reinforces this even more as well as increases profits from using cheaper material.
This is, in my opinion, 100% wrong and no different than outright lying about a product from an ethical point of view.
However, I am not a lawyer and this may actually be 100% legally acceptable. And given how business law seems to be geared towards shafting the consumers, you are probably out the money.
Advertising needs stronger transparency laws.
But in the indefinite meantime consumers need to learn to ask relevant questions about what they are buying.
