Help needed - who makes this exhaust?

I've been going through threads a while and only finding partial answers. I thought someone might be able to save me a lot of time with a quick suggestion or two.

Who makes an exhaust setup that replaces everything except for the stock S pipe, uses a high-flow cat to keep emissions compliance, fits the stock hangers (and bolts up nice and easily) and won't cause me to throw CEL's?

If no one exhaust fits that bill, what combo of stuff might I use? I'd like to go full turbo back, but I'm not ripping off the turbo and everything else- I think that's over my head. I want to do it myself, so I don't want it to be so hard that I have to get a mechanic to do it.

Any thoughts?
 
GHL makes the true turbo back that you essentially want, but i'd be a tad bit fearful to try to do the install myself also. the install shouldn't be all that bad, just time-consuming. ask around for the couple of guys on the board who are running that setup.

perrin makes a full s-pipe back, but i don't know if they have the cat option.

if you wanna piece stuff together, an apex dp with hi-flow cat paired with whatever catback you think sounds the best would be perfect.

striker has an exhaust thread goin somewhere, so check that out to hear many different varieties of setups.

i like the hiboost j pipe, MAM mid pipe w/ cat and a custom cat back, it is cheaper and makes good power

i can get them for you it is $120 for the j pipe and do you need a cat or not on the midpipe
 
It might be more costly, but couldn't you get the perrin setup and have a 3in high-flow cat welded in to keep the emissions legal. This is the same decision that i'm tryin to make right now. tuff one huhhh? (bang)

yeah i need a cat on the mid pipe, damn californai emission laws. oh and what size is the piping on all this, and what material is it made of???
 
The Perrin is very pricey to have to weld in a cat as well. Also, I think some of the dough is wasted going 3 inch but not doing the S pipe. The S pipe will be the restriction in the exhaust, even with smaller piping if you've got a high flow cat and free flowing muffler.
