Default Full Exhaust Question

With turbo cars, it's headers, test pipe/downpipe/racepipe??, then cat-back? Cat-back means from the second cat to the end of the exhaust I am pretty sure, but everything before I am confused on. I keep seeing on the forums all those different terms could someone set the record straight on the physical setup? Thanks

Good info. To help the OP out a little more...
There are no "headers"
In the picture above from left to right you have:
Manifold, Turbo, Downpipe (DP), Test Pipe (TP), Catback

Thanks for the info guys! I thought headers was the first part of the exhaust from the engine or is that not the case with turbos?

No a turbo manifold is what a turbo'd vehicle has instead of the header on a N/A vehicle.
