Exhaust for my IS350
Im looking to put an Exhaust system on my 07 IS350. Can anyone tell me what's the best sounding and which system will give me the best performance gain. I don't want the sound to be really loud, looking for a nice low deep sound.
Does anyone have the f series exhaust form lexus and if you do, do you like it. is it worth the money.

Do you want/need it to be legal?
if so then you'll be buying an axle-back. All of which produce roughly the exact same 7 whp gain.
If you don't need legal then you're looking at 10-12 hp for a full exhaust system with or without illegal cats on it, but at roughly 1.5-2.5x the price of the axle-backs.
Many folks do, and if you search you'll find dozens of threads discussing it.

If you want something soft go with the Lexus HKS. But it is discountinued. I've got Lexus HKS and Tanabe before. Now I have F-sport with Nvidia midpipe. Probably the loudest setup you can possibly find.

I just bought and installed F-sport 2 weeks ago and I'm happy with it.
Like you I muled over which one will sound and look the best and as you'll likely find most recommended Fsport for that nice "not too quite, not too loud" tone.
It's louder then I thought it would be (after reading what folks said on CL), but it's not ricey or unbearable. Mine gets the loudest around 2-3k so you can pretty much drive it to be louder or more mellow in Sport mode depending on how ya feel.

You should go to car meets of meet up with people in your area with different exhaust setups just to hear them before you go for one. I spent my time picking te exhaust and decided to go with the fsport over tanabe and haven't regretted it. If Cali didn't suck I would have gotten the Joez race exhaust.

i got the Lexus HKS exhaust and I am happy with it. Gives a nice growl when you press on the gas pedal. Now too loud not too soft. It is discontinued, but the f-sport is the next comparable exhaust.
I would suggest to look at the Joe Z exhaust. best sounding exhaust ive heard and i think it gives you the best performance boost.
