Replacing exhaust - what bits do I need?

I'm looking to replace the exhaust on my 87 Mk2, but I'm getting confused when it comes to what bits to buy... I'm after the supersprint twin pipe jobby here:
http://www.supersprintuk.com/golf-ii-18-gti-8v-84-92-c-78_196_262_294.html
Do I need to get the front and middle pipes as well as the back box? I'm going to get my local garage to fit it all for me because I'm a dunce, and the downpipe needs replacing at the same time, but I just want to make sure I'm getting the right stuff!
Cheers.

Fortunately Supersprint components are compatible with VW stuff. I had the straight supersprint front pipe, supersprint silencer in the middle and supersprint back box, but also had a complete VW system with a supersprint backbox and a supersprint system with a VW backbox.
If you plan on getting everything pictured above then it will be quite loud

Uh oh! Is it farty, baked-bean tin loud or only when I mash on the loud pedal?
Wanted to get away from the current exhaust that drones on the motorway and does my head in!

If you use a rear silencer over the rear beam rather than a "straight-through" pipe then it'll be fine on the motorway. They sound more or less standard at low revs, but if you boot it then they really come alive
