Default Exhausts - School me on one that doesn't sound or look like a ricer.

Recently got a IS350. Looking at exhaust options. Nothing too overly loud and definitely not one that's got polished cans. The look from behind on aftermarket exhausts where the mufflers are polished looks horrible IMO. I could get the mufflers powder-coated, but would rather have something factory like that. Got enough loud in my weekend ride so no need for it in my daily. Would prefer a "little" louder though (oxymoron for Lexus?).

Also, a decent amount that I've heard on YouTube sound like crap to the point where you might as stab your existing muffler w/ a screwdriver. So, looking for a decently stock look with a little rumble with no drone.

I think the answer is TOMS exhaust, single tips with black matt mufflers.

ARK GRiP for a nice growl when you're in higher RPM's and when starting the car on a cold start
