Costs: The front pipe, a couple of gaskets and a Ecutec licence and tune. Unless you are just after sound, then don't worry about the tune, you won't make much/any real extra power, but the car will be fine. Opinions may vary

Is there a chance of the bumper falling off from parachuting or is it just purely aerodynamics?

Pretty happy with the lack of drone and overall noise level of the Thermal. Their resonator is spot on for typical drone. Very quiet idle. Note I'm running Ace350 and a 3" catted/resonated frontpipe. Stock FP was even quieter and barely any power difference. Had a Nameless header and a JDL header back on the previous BRZ, and it had bad drone at highway speed in particular.

I can highly recommend the Greddy Supreme SP catback. It’s quiet on the highway, zero done, but it has a great tone when you get serious. It also fits like an OEM piece. VERY impressed with the fit and finish.

Catless header and JDM tips for your stock exhaust. If you are really set on a new catback the HKS Legamax Premium is very quiet and not super expensive.

You should give us an exact $$ range but, I can vouch for my nameless setup. The catback wouldn't be that different than my axleback sound wise. I don't get any drone or excessive vibrations even with there solid polyurethane exhaust hanger upgrade and with the 3 inch exhaust and 5 inch mufflers. Highly recommend you get the 2.5 inch with the 5 inch mufflers and it will surely do the job. Sound and tone preference is super subjective and you really would need to drive around or hear these exhausts in person to get an adequate gauge of what you like. I also don't recommend going punching out your stock cat like the one poster said as that's quite wasteful. Much better to simply get a nice header and keep your stock header for inspections or going back to stock or selling it. Especially when you plan to get the JDL V2 which can come with a uel or el config for the manifold. You've got some really decent choices here

Sound is fun. It makes things seem different than they are.

I have a Borla touring the axle back. It sounds good. Simple
