Default 08 GS350 Exhaust Options

Hello everyone! I'm looking for options to replace my exhaust on a 2008 gs350 AWD. A garage quoted me around 3K to replace from the mid pipe back.I haven't had much luck trying to find an aftermarket solution for the AWD model. I'm hoping someone here can help me out. Thanks in advance.

For what its worth,
I replaced the mid pipe with an OEM, the cost + shipping was right around $1200.00. Now if you go that route you could install Tanabe from the axel back (or from the mid pipe back).
I did much research on this and at the end of the day, I believed this was the best route. There are aftermarket mid pipes but you will need a good muffler shop to do some fabricating.
Additionally, there are sound characteristics with aftermarket mid pipes that you may need to research as well..

I haven't pulled the trigger on the Tanabe, just an example..
I'm not a big fan of added exhaust sounds like drone (just me) the cabins in the Lexus's IMO are not the quietest, as I've been in quieter cabins (BMW, Cadillac STS, Audi). That said,
my axel back pipe and mufflers are in good shape so If and when I do replace them most likely will be going with Magnaflow OEM replacement.
