Loud... the word is loud.

If you do get it, get the straight cut. Looks better.

I put a Magnaflow 14829 (single exit) on my wife's RX...sounds good. Definitely NOT loud! It's a little throatier than stock, doesn't whine at all, slight reverb in the cabin.

If you have a tow hitch, check for clearances.

for exhaust mods, I highly recommend to sit and ride the identical vehicle to experience the sound. [there is a difference in what you hear outside vs inside the vehicle and some noise can be annoying at crusing speed]

I've had a Magnaflow muffler since forever on my RX300. Not loud at all, in fact under full acceleration it's noticeable up until 4K RPM before all engine roar muffles out the exhaust. It does have a nice throaty rumble under load and standing revs but cruising, not loud. Just slightly turned more aggressive and more noticeable.

Side view of exhaust, almost stock appearance but the clean, stainless steel and 4" tip mean business.
