Default Axle Back Exhaust options

I'm looking for a good axle back option for my IS350 RWD and I want something that isn't too loud but gives the car some depth on start-up and accel. I don't want any drone, which is why I'm sticking to axle back.

I'm thinking: F-Sport Axle back
Invidia Q300 110mm SS
Magnaflow 15227 2.25"
Invidia Q300 60mm SS

What do you guys think? Or do you have any other suggestions?

I have a Magnaflow. It's perfect imo. Looks like a nicer stock exhaust. Sounds good, sometimes I think it's too loud, other times is perfect.

I think Invidia is louder and F-Sport is quieter, fwiw. I also think the can portion of the Invidia doesn't look good.

What does "fwiw" mean?

I have the Magnaflow and am very happy with it. I was considering the Joe Z but I live in Canada and shipping made it more expensive and a bigger hassle. There's a tiny bit of drone but in my experience the only way to avoid drone entirely is sticking with the stock exhaust. It's nowhere near loud enough to be obnoxious or turn heads as you drive by but it is a nice burble. If anyone wanted something quieter I suggest sticking with stock.

I live in Canada too, where did you end up ordering the Magnaflow from? I'm still considering the Invidia since its at a pretty good price on ebay and sounds good. F sport is probably the least overwhelming, but really overpriced

Try your Lexus dealer. I know mine is telling the Magnaflow. They pretty much always have at least 2 in stock.

The shop that did the install deals with Magnaflow so they ordered it in. I wasn't involved in the process.
