Default IS300 Custom exhaust question?

Hey guys just had a few questions on getting a custom exhaust made for my N/A is300.

There were two main options i was considering. The first was buying an eBay exhaust and swapping out the resonator and muffler for something better. Its supposedly T304 stainless steel and completely mandrel bent. The other option was to get a muffler shop to custom pipe a mandrel bent system. From what I was quoted both would run me about the same price, so I was just wondering what you guys think.

Thanks

I think it looks and sounds better than a fart can, and doesnt attract rice burner attention, honestly it looks like BMW exhaust
