OEM style functional diffuser

I have tried searching for this but none of the threads I saw provided some information I was looking for, if you do find one, please let me know.

I was curious to know if there was an OEM looking diffuser that was actually functional. I really do like the look of the OEM diffuser but would like some of the functionality of lets say a Velox or Drivelabs. So I wanted to know if anyone has seen or purchased anything similar? Essentially looking for an OEM look but the length of one of these diffusers (from what I understand, some magic aero shit happens) but I can't justify buying a Drivelabs or Velox if I'm not tracking the car and I don't want something that is simply aesthetically pleasing.

1. cheap
2. fast(works well)
3. good(quality material and looks good)

Pick two.

The only problem is that the Velox and Driveway Labs diffusers seem to be the only ones that have been tested to be functional.

The Velox non-aggressive and Driveway Labs Type-2 are as OEM as it gets while also being functional. I've got the Type-2 and you don't need to track your car to feel the benefits. The benefits are already noticeable at highway speeds.

I personally really like the look of the non-aggressive Velox one.
