Mikey had a nice lil write up on it.. Check out the S4 drag slip site..
Also you can do a search, Taner did a write up as did others..
$780 is high, I think $500 is more in the ballpark. Catback is trivial, they should charge you to install the DP's and throw in the catback install

Downpipes are NOT easy
Very tedious, and requires a lot of patience. Bloody knuckles are pretty common, too ;-)
The catback is easy -- maybe an hour, less if you have the right tools (jackstands or lift) and have experience. But removing the downpipes from the turbos is NOT easy... it's a really tight fit... hence the charges.
That's a fairly average estimate. Only do it yourself if you're quite mechanical, have a good toolset, and have a lot of patience, would be my suggestion. Allow 12 hours if it's your first time.

golem's gunna get ticked that you called his site..the "S4 drag slip site" :) you're right though..
throwing in the cat-back install is pretty fair.
