RS/WRX Swap Exhaust Question

I am in the midst of starting the swap and looking to up grade to an aftermarket exhaust system at the same time. When you do the swap, what exhaust systems would I have to look at, I really would like to get the turbo XS exhaust package(Downpipe, cat, exhaust). I know that the WRX cat back would be longer than my RS would need, so I guess my question would be what are others with this swap doing for aftermarket exhaust systems? Can you just buy a 3" axle back system and just have a custom midpipe made to fit for the RS? Thanks for any help.

the are the same length, just the one hanger on the rear crossmember won't match up w/ out some welding but you don't really it.

i am running full tsudo exhaust up&down pipe & catback that came off a wrx wagon.

So a WRX exhaust system will work on a 2dr RS? Thanks for the help!
