Just like the car itself, there just isn't any right answer here. I'm back to thinking OEM F-Sport is the way to go. Probably too quiet for most, but it's better than droning like crazy every time I have to take a trip.
Honestly, you might be better off with just nice muffler tips. I prefer a silent ride, so if I don't go quad Tanabe Medalion, then I may run AIMGAIN or T-Demand quad muffler tips on the factory exhaust.

The factory exhaust is just too weak. I hate to admit this, but my wife's 2015 Acura 3.5 liter V6 RDX has a growl that's twice as loud as the Lexus. Shameful, really. I'll have to get something for sure.

Sorry, I meant to respond to @jeronberna who wanted a quiet ride.
I would go F Sport (not sure if there's one for 2017+ diffuser?), or Tanabe Medalion Quad Tip (RC350) for 2017+.
I was in the same boat, I love the way staggered quad tips look and wanted just a bit more sound when I get on the gas but no sound at highway speeds of 70mph - 80mph (1500-2300 rpm), everything I found besides OEM f sport sort of match those criteria. What I eventually did was buy the arkopovic style staggered dual tips with dry carbon fiber and welded it on the stock mufflers, they are 2.5 inch inlet and dual 3.5 outlets that is slightly staggered, over all it's right around 8 inches when you take the carbon fiber surrounds into consideration.
The only thing I I would fix is make the tips even more staggered, closer to 25mm staggered for a more offset look. The car of course still retains it's quite nature on the highway.

Nice! So no change in volume, just change in look, correct?
It sounds like our Street system might be what you're looking for!
1. Axle-back only ✔
2. More volume would be good, but not boy-racer loud, and as little drone as possible. ✔ No drone; stock-like idle & cruising volume, louder under heavy throttle
3. Deep, warm tone, not bright and raspy. ✔ Magnaflow's signature tone has always been deep and refined
4. Price is not a consideration. ✔
5. Lexus quality or better. ✔ Fully-stainless, mandrel bent, made in the USA with a lifetime warranty
6. Power gains not a consideration at all. ✔

I'm liking this a lot! Any pix on a 2017/2018 diffuser? Not sure about the single tip design.
if price isnt a consideration, you can always get a quad tip weld on after. That is what I have on, invidia midpipe, magnaflow axleback with akaprovic cf quad tip weld on at the back.
pretty sick setup

what do you think of these pic so far? Not bad huh, I think mine could have been welded on a little better. Its sticking a lil too much just because I wanted the wording to be a lil more visible.. regretting it now 😆
