Which front pipe/overpipe to get?

Hi guys first post here. I have a 2016 BRZ and I've had the Open Flash UEL header and Nvidia N1 for a long time now. I want to finish my exhaust with a front pipe/overpipe and wondering if anyone has this setup. I'm leaning towards catless resonated front pipe and I'm not too sure on the best overpipe to throw in here or if I should just keep the stock one. I live in the Toronto area and I've never been pulled over or had any problems with the noise so far. Will going to a catless resonated front pipe make it much louder and/or add more drone?

Look at ultimate racing. May require down pipe combo, but good stuff.

Also your ears, neighbors and anyone in your general vicinity are going to hate you.

Edit: Drone is mostly dependent on your catback. I'd ask you how sold are you on catless? I ask because if you're really worried about the tone, I'd keep it catted.

I am catless with resonator with no drone, resonators for tone, mufflers for noise.

Overpipe: a $100 mandrel bend overpipe will perform the same as a more expensive one, my ULTREX 2.5" overpipe cost $80 on special at eBay.

Front pipe: a cheap 2.5" catless resonated front pipe will perform the same as an expensive one, I use a cheap X Force overpipe back exhaust, punched out cat and resonator in front pipe.

Or, get a quote from your local exhaust shop and see where that price sits, there ain't no rocket science in a 2.5" resonated mid pipe, fit the longest resonator you can, mine is about 400mm.

All the rocket science (fluid dynamics) or lack of it, is in your header.

Cold start will need work if you have neighbors.

With the money saved get your car dyno tuned and have them tickle cold start.

Then profit and skids.
