There's usually any number of Tsudo knockoffs on Ebay, typical 6" muffler and 2.5 piping. Our cars drone at highway RPMs so it may drive you crazy depending on what they use for a resonator. If you go for custom-made, do keep the resonator in and you'll avoid the kicked-sheep wet-fart effect of the Honda crowd and keep your piping no bigger than 2.25". Consider a double-loop muffler, both Flowmaster and Magnaflow drove me crazy so I'm running an OEM IS300 and pretty happy with it, got a flyby video on the Cardomain page somewhere.

The previous owner of my car had cat back exhaust (magnaflow) and headers etc installed on my car. It is too loud for my taste. Even on highway speed it is loud. Bad for hearing. Pure noise. Because our cars are not race cars, without the substance, this modification adds little IMHO.

Also it causes the car to warm up later than it should during winter. Affects the mileage negatively.

Are you located in Washington DC? If you want the OBX header, OBX cat-converter, and Tsudo exhaust, you can come and get mine for relatively cheap.

Note that I never said the bypass valve worked, I think it's stuck open...
