4 parts sounds right, down,inter,cross and back box. Last time I bought a whole system it was *about* £250 from kwik fit, sure a full powerflow won't be much more than that if any !

Be sure to check that the replacement system includes the downpipe and that the downpipe is the correct siamesed item for the 16v.

Even if you go for a ss system they tend to use the standard mild steel downpipe as the "split" downpipe is essential to get good low rpm torque on these motors.

Generally a 2 box system is regarded as the best route - basically use the correct std downpipe and mate that to ss running straight through to the cross box and tail box.
