Hello All!
As some of you may have read already, I am in the market for a FR-S. I have been lurking on the board and browsing the local dealers. I lent a hand to a fellow mid atlantic member over the weekend with an exhaust install on his FR-S, in exchange for chatting about them.

None the less I was at a local dealer today that had a 13 FR-S with fog lights, spoiler, TRD exhaust and Intake among various other odds and ends, all of which were on the window sticker. She had 9 miles on her and we took it out for a little test drive. Didnt go over 45 or over 3.5k rpms. I get it back to the dealer and notice a decent amount of white smoke coming from the tailpipes. Smelled like new exhaust/engine stuff burning off, but I have not seen something like that, to that extent before.

Any one else with a brand new one notice that kind of smoke before?
The exhaust sounded so damn good! But really $1k for the TRD??

I currently have a 91 MR2, which I bought in 97. Should I make the move???
