$1k is pretty much meaningless given the various factors involved. Even if every member on this forum ponied up the same amount of money, it's still a literal drop in the bucket.
A lot of ECU cracking came out of Russia, and they're busy getting their shit punched in.
Outside of a serious...
If you're genuinely concerned about possible threats, Have you considered the alternate approach of: Not drawing as much attention as possible to yourself by driving pretty much anything *but* a mustang?
Also, no non-ford tuning exists as of writing for 7th gen mustangs. If you want more...
I really like what Ford did with the active valve exhaust. I've not owned a Mustang previously, but have had many V8's. I really enjoy being able to go from mellow to stupid at the push of a button.
The exhaust note itself is great too. It's very hard to not stay in the throttle when it sounds...

my update screen was spinning endlessly, pulling the battery for 10+ minutes fixed that, I got a update for ECG.

Also having the icon to return to android auto / carplay on the top far right side of the screen is just dumb, @Ford Motor Company because then I definitely have to...
Use the Schwar(t)z
Even in track mode the car isn't obnoxious enough for you?
You could probably just swap the factory mid pipe to an H or X pipe to get more volume, and still retain the features of your active valve exhaust, without spending $5800CAD on something that will drone endlessly.
Why is it unsafe? These motors are reasonably reliable it seems making a bunch more power with forced induction on a high compression motor.
You won't have big torque down low like you do with a positive displacement blower which loves to pretzel rods, and you won't have insane cylinder...
