His was just a backbox and I think it cost him £90/100 new, something like that.
I had a custom backbox on my 12v but it sounded standard for some reason.

Not much point in a full exhaust, get a back box only.

As NobleOne said, on my old 1.0 B I had a standard centre section with an Ashley backbox. I got it for about £80 which was the best price at the time, but that was from Chris Astley Motorsport who stopped trading in 2010. Sounded good though, nice and deep
You can create induction noise by removing a part off the side of the air filter box which I also did, that helped quite a bit too.
I think this is the video that made me go for an Ashley http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbkRE1F-IL0
You will need a reducer piece to fit it to the standard centre section though as the diameter of the 1.0 exhaust is smaller than all the other engines, so the backbox won't fit very well without one.
