Typically only shops that do turbo or header work would do mandrel bends for you, and charge much more for that as well. I knew well that they would do crush bends at this shop. I'm not running any type of forced induction nor nitrous, so as for a naturally aspirated engine, I would say that even crush bends with an aftermarket exhaust system should yield more gains then the OEM mufflers would.

The only other alternative then to having a shop do the mandrel bends, is to purchase a true catback from a branded manufacturer, ie TRD or Borla.

Costs for work like this can vary depending on location and what kinda shop you go to. I was able to obtain the two mufflers from a local performance shop at a fantastic price, while they retail for around $200 each for the Apexi WS2. The piping and labor for installation can vary, mine was around $400. If your able to obtain mandrel bent and complete stainless steel piping, AND purchase two branded mufflers, then you would have yourself a true catback system. Otherwise, manufacturers such as Tanabe or HKS charges around $600 or so for a catback system for the IS350.

I'll post a sound clip up later also, after all, this is still a Camry in the end, if it was a vehicle that has more of an aim towards pure performance, such as Lancer or Impreza, then that may be a different story. But thanks much for the pictures to point it out for further references.
