I would go to downpipe route to get rid of the stock piece. Weren't the downpipes double-wall like the testpipes? If so the inside wall can collapse with old age. If you're looking at it from a purely financial standpoint, getting the coating and keeping the stock downpipe would probably be cheapest. To get my headers/crossover coated at Calico was $200.

That's cheaper than I expected. The wife would be happy with that. My downpipe looks new, inside and out.

If you are running a stock set up ..I dont know how much benifit you will get from a larger downpipe ... The reason I went with the coating on the pipes was primalry to keep the heat down in the engine bay, all the other attributes are just the cherry on the top
Looks great
Helps scavenge the gases
did I say looks great
Best regards

Just keep that bit of info in the back of your mind BTW $200 didn't include shipping to/from.
