Your stock muffler will only fit the stock pipe, and only today a decent one went for over $200US on eBay, circle-F are good as they include a built in muffler (won't break loose/fall off etc and is repackable) and are only $150US new, retro rocket are the same but cost $50 more, I don't know what a jemco costs or what one looks like. The stock TM muffler is to some degree non-repackable, and is heavy because its steel.

The pipe looks a lot like the one on my TM (RMS pipe) I have had an after market muffler made and fitted by Cycleworks over here.
TMBill might be able to post a photo? As my bikes are at his place?

I ordered a Circle F pipe from AMS Racing a couple of years ago.  It was available ex stock - they have quite a range available on their current web site as we speak.  Price was around $US 150 + postage.  The pipe has to be cut to fit US Post's maximum parcel length.  I got replica guards, filters, Badges as well for my VR Montesa, cost me from memory $US45, landed at home in 6 days.  Not too loud, same top end as the standard pipe, but better midrange.  AMS were great to do business with.  They have a listing for TM & RM Suzuki models.

I have jigged for the TM 250 but not the TM 125 as yet. It is on my must do list.
I have a TM 125 pipe to work from but will eventually need a bike to fit up to, will probably try to do something after CD5
