Even if I hear that super loud thump? I heard like 4 or 5 of them on the speed bump, along with the scraping noises.
The thumps are what worries me. If it's all the exhaust, that's no problem. But if it's something like the oil pan or differential or what have you, that's what I'm worried about lol.

figure out the size and offset of your current wheel.
type the width and offset on the top
type the width and offset of the new wheels on the bottom.
click calculate to see how many millimeters more it sticks out and also your inner clearance.

1. Power steering issue/failure
2. Seizing upper strut mounts (bearings)
3. Poor/seizing tie rod ends
4. Poor/seizing ball joints
Is this a new thing, that happened suddenly? Or is this a new car to you that you're just getting familiar with?
The G has stiff steering to start with, what are you comparing to?

Hard steering is primarily caused by:
1. Power steering issue/failure
2. Seizing upper strut mounts (bearings)
3. Poor/seizing tie rod ends
4. Poor/seizing ball joints

Just the mid is all you want. $25-$75 otherwise you can just have a muffler shop weld in a smaller resonator. And yes direct fit.

Is it 'loose' or does it 'shimmy' over bumps at all? Any clunking or uneven tire wear?
Something to consider, many shops will inspect your front end for free if they think they'll get work out of it. A few phone calls may net you a free inspection, then you can decide if you're going ot fix it yourself or have them do it.

Likely tie rods/ball joints or strut mounts.
