What parts do you need because there are a lot of pipes in our exhaust....
Headers
Cross Over
Down Pipe
Cat (or Test Pipe)
and the Cat back section.....

Ian has it all listed. If you are going to buy new parts it will cost a small fortune. You would be better off to call Speedforce or Lindsey and buy aftermarket items. BTW - replacing the exhaust in this car might be the biggest PITA I have ever done. Removing the engine was EASY compared to removing the exhaust.

my suggestion on a budget way to do it... pull of your headers and cross over pipe, bring them to someone to weld them up, and then have them ceramic coated. All of that will cost you maybe 500 dollars, compare that to new / aftermarket headers and crossover pipes where you would have just crossed over 1000 dollars easily.

Then that leaves you everything from the turbo back, and then you have many aftermarket options ranging from 500 dollars all the way to a grand or two.

With all the top dollar parts you could spend north of 5000 dollars on the exhaust plumbing on these cars.....

I have a complete cat back. They tend to go for about 150 on Ebay but as this is RL, 100 bucks plus shipping (if you saw the pics my SFR stuff came in). It sounds like you will need to look at the DP and crossover pipe as well.
