TRD exhaust owner here...

I replaced the original resonator with a Vibrant Ultra Quiet unit and it got rid of 95% of the drone, so I'd highly recommend doing this for drone reduction (resonators don't have much effect on volume). Interestingly, the resonator on the Lachute front pipe looks identical to a Vibrant Ultra Quiet resonator...

Based on what I've read over the years, I don't recall any aftermarket front pipe that helps reduce volume over the OEM front pipe since they typically have larger piping and higher-flow cat. The closest exception I've seen is the Fujitsubo dual-resonated (but catless) front pipe, which was extensively tested to be identical to the OEM front pipe in dB readings.

If you want to cut down volume, it's either different cat-back or maybe replace the TRD muffler with a larger one and cut/weld the TRD tips onto it. Perhaps this Vibrant muffler could help:
