    OBX (from ebay) sells full systems for a decent price. That would delete the catalytic convertor, which isn't technically legal, but they are quite raspy systems. Not sure what they sound like when mated to their cat-back system...but when mated to an STi catback, it's quiet but not the normal Subaru sound.

    Borla replicas from eBay for sure, and a different muffler.

    As everyone has already said the Borla (or similiar knock offs) are great headers and really bring out the boxer rumble. They do tend to be kind of pricey though, but a used set would be definately worth it. Beware they do tend to crack and it would be something to look for if you are going to look in the used market. As for a cat-back I have had good experience with just getting one made up at an exhaust shop. Pick up what ever kind of muffler you like (melon shooter vs. non) and get something whipped up with 2.25" or 2.5" piping and possibly a resonator. Tstrboy2004 does great work so I recommend him.

    post up some sound clips when you get the new exhaust on!
