It doesn't have to be a yoshi to sound like that. The majority of aftermarket pipes for the GY6 sound similar to that. Some are higher quality construction, but most sound and perform similar. Check out the banners on our main page and check eBay. Just be careful with buying cheap stuff. Some of it fits really poorly. Find reviews if possible.
The exhaust swap itself is quite simple as long as the pipe is designed to fit well. There are 2 nuts or bolts that hold the header to the engine and then there are usually a couple of bolts that hold a bracket for the exhaust to the engine. The aftermarket pipes will have the same header connection and their brackets should attach in the same spots. You'll need a new exhaust gasket. Some pipes come with them, if not, the person you buy from should be able to sell you a gasket or two (always good to have a spare).
You may also need to install a slightly larger main jet when adding a free-flowing exhaust.

If you only want the muffler and not the larger header pipe, it's gonna be a custom job and much harder. Think cutting and welding, cause I don't believe anyone offers a bolt on replacement muffler for the stock header.

The easiest is to get a whole exhaust, bolt it on, tune the carb.
Other option is get a muffler, have some sort of adapter made or cut and weld the stock header to the new muffler some type of connector. Tune carb.
If you don't feel comfortable with either of those, then take it to a scooter/bike/exhaust shop. If you're gonna go that route, you may even be better off to go to them and see if they carry anything that'll work or can get it or at least see if they will work with parts you bring them (some won't).
