Default Berks HFC, fujita intake, jic y pipe and switching midpipe/muffler

So in addition to that setup, I have the apexi WS2 on the rear... the car is pretty loud as it sounds, thinking of adding either the NISMO S-tune attached to the JIC or taking it tanabe super medalion dual canister exhaust... would probably look better on the nismo, I've heard sound clips of both and am leaning to the Tanabe.. but i figured i'd ask considering my own mods..

1. Threw a CEL today, getting it checked in a few hours... figure it's the high flow cats, issue with the berks but I have pretty new ones reinforced and properly installed... if it's the MAF should I ditch the fujitas and go back to stock

2. Which would you personally put on given my mods? I'm thinking maybe the tanabe will make it a bit smoother, i get nasty rasp inbetween 1-2 RPM.. would there be anyway to reduce this? I think perhaps the apexi isn't flowing smothly enough.. I know regardless both of the ones I am considering should flow better, but discuss?

Thanks guys, sorry if any of this is newb, I know it's kinda subjective... but I figured I'd give it a whirl?

EDIT: Car is 07. HR.

Now you've got me worried, I'm running a Stillen y-pipe and Apex-i WS2 exhaust, and I just ordered Berk HFC's Friday. Here comes the rasp i bet

I'd probably go with the tanabe if I were you.

I know members who have spent thousands of dollars switching exhaust components chasing some exotic sound. Good luck.

Haha yes, the rasp is the berks... no doubt. and yes, I realize that, just curious for imput or if anyone has similar setup.
How are you finding the apexi vs others 06enthusiast?

I'm happy with the apexi, just a little louder than stock and I could feel a slight power increase. I tried to find video of HFC's on a WS2 but had no luck. I listened to a bunch of HFC's on stock exhaust and I imagined the WS2 would have the same tones, but louder.

For your case, from a power standpoint, I would recommend the Tanabe. As far as sound goes, I've seen several Nismo + HFC vids and they all sound awesome.

Do you have any video of your car with the current setup?

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

I'll make a video tonight for you guys to check, if you like, or at least a sound clip.
