If you decide to go the custom route, definitely make a plan before you green light anything by them. By foregoing the research aftermarket manufacturers put into their systems (aka why they cost so much) you're risking making less power or ending up with a bad exhaust note. Al I can say is
research the components and plumbing:- resonator/muffler brand, size and placement
- crossover (Y, H, X) type and placement.
That isn't to say all aftermarket systems are good, I'm having a shop redo 2/3's of my catback because the crossover and resonators combine to sound
