The one thing I want to say regards the "break in period".

"Oh look. I just hit 1000 miles. Now I can rev my car." Honestly that sounds kind of stupid since every engine is a little different. It's also a way of reducing the chances of something going wrong in the early stages which is somewhat a scapegoat.

I try to downshift as much as i can too. I've noticed my BRZ got alot louder once i broke it in.
I noticed it yesterday. My FR-S got louder too. And this is a good kind of loud.

BTW, I redlined shortly after leaving the lot.
