There's some great info on that thread about economically priced long tubes.
I bought DNA Motorworks off eBay 2 years ago for $135, coated the insides with Eastwood inside coating (~$50 for 2 cans), wrapped the outside with Summit Lava rock wrap ($50) and had my exhaust guy fab up my catless mids for $150.
When I had my build done, they went right back on the engine and are holding up great we'll north of 800hp.
I'd consider that money well spent.
The OBX set (headers and mids) is the closest I've seen in price and they aren't coated at purchase.
