Oppinions on what to use for NA S5 Full Exhaust

This isnt going to happen quite yet, but its something I would love to have done by the end of the summer. I would really like to have from my header back all aftermarket, but I don't know what to go with. I want to keep dual exhaust, and since I live in Michigan, I dont have to worry about emissions testing, but still need to keep the volume down. So keeping it under a 1000$ what's the best combination of header, presilencer/cat, catback I can go with?

P.S. I really like Borla, and I know it's cheaper then RB, but I'm curious to other options as well.

Since you have an S5, backpressure isn't needed to work the aux ports.
So - full dual is the way to go.
My dream setup would be: RB header, 2 Borla pre-silencers, & 2 Borla muffs all welded up by my local shop, with assembly flanges at the header and in front of the mufflers.
Pretty quiet with just a little bit of mean.

I only had $300 to do my previous NA, so I used the Mazdatrix header kit & had my local "barn in the woods" muffler shop make up this.



It sounded like this: link to stereo mp3 clip

And drove like this: link to video clip
