Firstly whats your location and budget? We can suggest a few good exhaust shops.
IMO, I'd go for a custom 2" or 2.25" mandrel bent mild steel exhaust, hi flow cat, one or two resonators and a twin loop/oval muffler or something restrictive.
Performance wise wouldn't be much, but it'll feel slightly better in the high rpm range.
I'd suggest pairing the exhaust with a good air filter setup with cold air feed and those electronic throttle controllers for better response.
I like this idea but definitely 2.25". Honestly don't bother with a 2".
My exchaust setup is a Varex Muffler (Has a butterfly valve to control the volume)
with the mid resonator removed and a Short Ram intake system.
When the exhaust is fully opened car sounds AWESOME! Like an actual JDM K20 but without the loud vtec crossover.
Fully closed is slightly louder than stock.
Power wise. No real performance upgrade but with the exhaust opened you can feel that its a lot smoother throughout the revs
that sound pretty good actually

OP, it would be ideal to check out cars both irl and Youtube to gain an idea what you consider to be quiet and acceptable.
For example for me:
NB - Might not apply to FD1, this is based on my experience across older models of Hondas
NB - Some of the exhaust I've experienced

These are just some example of exhaust you could base your own system on. Some research on exhaust will help you decide what size, material, sections [Resonators, Muffler, Cannon] and specs you need. You might want to check out something like HKS ES Premium, Mugen Twinloop and Honda Type R exhaust. They may have a more complex design but might give you some inspiration to give you power, noise and comfort without needed a variable system like the X-Force Varex You might not apply this to your FD but it'll help you with other cars in the future
