Slipon's are mounted to the stock/existing system. Typically they're clamped on a few inches after the midpipe.
Full system's replace the stock system (or most of it, anyway) and have a better-designed curve from where the rear pipe turns back to meet with the front pipe. Stock system has a very tight bend, full system usually not so tight & more visually appealing.
Post a picture and it'll be easier to show you.
