I currently own a 2018 IS 300 AWD 3.6L base. Non f-sport. Does anyone know of an axle back that is compatible with this car? Please and thank you.

Any axleback from 2014-2020 will fit your vehicle...meaning it will bolt on to your vehicle and function.
As axlebacks are available in dual tip or quad tip, it depends on which style you are looking for.
Also the diffuser in the 2014-16 has oval style opening whereas the 2017+ has a tear drop opening...so you'll need to consider what the axleback tip(s) will look like in the teardrop opening.
Some have even had the OEM teardrop tips transferred to the axleback mufflers to give it that OEM look while still having that aftermarket sound.

I'm seeing most axle backs for IS250 and IS350. Is my vehicle included in that same configuration of exhaust?

Consider any axleback listed for IS250/350 to be applicable to your IS300.

Any other exhaust questions you have could probably be answered in the Performance sub-forum. There you could see how they look on other owners' cars, etc. There are also the Build Threads above as well which may be just as good.
