Cat-back. Yeah, the headers will probably at least double that amt, then high-flow cats if good ones are available.

Where are you getting these prices? A quality, catted downpipe cost me ~$450 and a quality, resonated catback cost me $600 on the WRX. That's Just over $1000 for a turbo back, and I spent another $50 on a used up-pipe as well; so $1100 total for a complete exhaust setup minus the header which would have been another $500.

Or Porsche tax. For the most part, parts (haha) are affordable on imports. They're not quite domestic cheap, but if a car has a following, there's lots of choices. The top level stuff always costs extra, though. You can always find ebay parts if you're not into quality research & design and want to support cutthroat business practices including blatant copying of others' designs.
