Upgrading DP to BEGI. 1 last choice
I'm buying the BEGI replacement greddy downpipe. I want to buy the mild steel because I'm a student and I'm cheap/poor. What exactly am I signing up for vs. the stainless steel? The original greddy downpipe is mild steel isn't it?

You'd be right. I have no real logical reason for my exhaust being 100% stainless. (seriously, not being sarcastic. Now that I think about it, mild steel would do the same thing, except for being uglier.)
The only other difference is how they deal with heat. IIRC, stainless holds heat in much better, although a ceramic-coated mild would do the same thing.

its only 100 bucks more for stainless than mild, why not? If you looking at doing 60 bucks for coating, think about additional time without it. Plus the time to and from the ceramic coater. If my order didnt take so long to get i would have sent it back to BEGI. I ordered a SS dp and got a mild:(

I'd rather save the 100 if the difference is negligible, put 50-60 of it into a ceramic coating which, I believe will keep heat in even better than the SS, and still pocket the 40 or 50 bucks.
