The annoying thing is the intake resonator makes the cabin pretty loud at high rpms. It's discouraging me from going to the high revs. I gotta plug that up, soon!

In general, I find the FRS/BRZ similar to a small CC motorcycle.. you just need to get the revs up to be in the power band. I don't have any experience with the AT model so I have no idea what tips there are to keep engine in the right gear/rpm but I'm sure you can find that info here.
Usually, it doesn't start waking up until 4.5k to 5K stock..
And, yes, definitely plug up the sound tube. It cost me ~ 1-2 bucks and it makes a huge difference (and the stereo sounds twice as good instantly). Plus, if you get a tune or mods, you get to actually hear the engine realistically.
