Without going used that is probably as low as you are likely to get.

if you want lower price, Tsudo Exhaust is the one I think.
The exhuast look and sound pretty much the same except the exhaust tips.

So I just got my Invidia today and put it on. I took it for a drive, and boy does it sound nice! Subtle, but nice. My only concern is that there is a pretty good about of smoke coming out of it. Sort of a melting plastic smell too. Does this mean it just needs to be broken in, or? Any thoughts?

It's completely normal. What you are seeing and smelling is all the lube from assembly burning off. Should be fine after an hour or so of driving.

Invidia all the way. Sporty tone. To me, the blued titanium tips are the icing on the cake.
