Good Exhaust for the 09 IS 350

Yeah, my tanabe doesn't have that -at all-
Stock, or with the tanabe, I can continue to hold a normal conversation with my passenger at exactly the same volume level as before and still hear them clearly.
The only time you hear the exhaust at all is if it's otherwise dead quiet in the car (no radio, no talking, etc) and even then it's pretty quiet (just not as dead silent as stock was).
I installed it with a buddy in about 20 minutes, then we drove it around, if it'd been annoying, droning, or loud at all, it would've come back off the car immediately after the test drive and I'd have put the stock exhaust back on. I was totally uninterested in any aftermarket exhaust that wasn't still quiet and drone free...after my last car I was in love with the quiet of my IS350.
(and my tanabe was used so it was already "broken in" sound wise- the guy who had it before me sold it so he could use the $ toward a louder exhaust since he didn't like how quiet it was)
