Decided on the vendor ... now the options

That's your best bet. The factory paint that my manifold came with took about a year to completely burn off. The DP isn't what I would call shiny anymore, but there's no corrosion of any kind. The top part is slightly discolored... the bottom half is dull-shiny.
Design youself a heat shield or get a turbo-blanket for the heat protection you're looking for.

Looks like BEGI is getting my business. FM did nothing wrong, avalibility of parts had a large part in my decision. I was on the fence, this just sealed the deal.
Down pipe, SS or mild?
Manifold, ceramic coated?
Doing both ceramic and SS DP will stretch the budget a little too thin. I'm thinking one or the other. Which would you choose and why?
I'm leaning towards ceramic coating the mani and using a mild steel DP.

I would reverse that: Get the SS pipe and not worry about the ceramic on the manifold. Reason being is that the SS pipe is an improvement over mild for both thermal and longevity benefits. The ceramic on the manifold is only cosmetic. Besides, redish/brownish turbo manifolds are cool.
