ok, I one time posted this question in a new thread but never got a response.....
I know that on the wrx and whatnot we call a full exhaust a turbo-back.....so whats the n/a version of a turbo-back? headerback?

Although since "turbo-back" does not include the turbo, maybe "header-back" would not include the header. So maybe there's your term.
Then again, maybe not.

Header-back generally implies a header is included. Cars don't come from the factory with headers, they come with manifolds.
Maybe it's manifold-back.
Sorry - no idea of the stock pipe diamter.
