Idk where you’re based but these are from Australia. I put them on about a year ago and they’ve been great.
There is a gasket between the back end of headers and the cat that allows movement which I couldn’t find a replacement for so I ended up getting a flex join. You’ll also need to remove one of the horizontal supports from the old exhaust. Just two bolts from memory. Installing only took a couple hours and then 30 mins with the exhaust guys for the flex join.

I haven’t got anything aftermarket between the extractors and muffler. And I haven’t actually done any specific research as to whether a aftermarket system exists for the car either but I haven’t come across any while searching for other things. Can’t help you there sorry.
