Welcome. Hope you enjoy the car.
If I may, I have a couple of thoughts re your mod plans.
1) CAIs don't really do a whole lot for the BRZ--the stock intake is already cold-air and it's pretty well designed. The money is better spent elsewhere. If you're going for looks, then you can save money by either: (A) just getting an intake tube, or (B) for even cheaper, you can remove the sound generator and plug it with about 5 minutes of work and $3 in parts from home depot. This will clean up the engine bay and make things a bit quieter in the cabin.
Don't get me wrong; the Grimmspeed intake in particular looks to be well designed and has proven power gains up top. But you can get 75% of those gains with a $40 drop-in panel filter.
2) The N1 is a popular exhaust and I hear it sounds nice. However, it's on the louder side of the spectrum. Common wisdom around these parts is the N1 is fine if that's all you're doing to the exhaust. However, if you plan to get a catless header down the line, the N1 might be a bit too rowdy.
Ultimately, it's a personal preference. If you plan to get a catless header and want to keep a reasonable exhaust volume, common choices are the Invidia Q300 or the Perrin 2.5" resonated.
