i've searched ..indeed there are lots of threads about HFC..

but not a lot of threads about pairing HFC with Amuse R1

was thinking about Berks...but not sure about the sounding when pairing with Amuse R1

Not sure why catalytic converter choice would be unique with your exhaust. Any will work. One no better than the other.

Since the R1 isn't a common exhaust, try asking here:

Since you seem to have a penchant for jdm stuffs just
pickup the tomei HFCs on eBay. Pricey, but likely awesome.
Might as well given your current setup.

I run Power Enterprise metallic HFC's. They took about 3 months to make and ship to me from Japan, but there were worth the wait and they sound good paired with Nismo headers, Tanabe y pipe, and Amuse exhaust. They also have held up fine after going F/I.

But there are so many choices out there. Look for a quality set and I would recommend metallic core over ceramic for durability.

Yea, and $6k is a lot of money for a Endless BBK, and +$10k for a full HKS SC setup, and $4k for Volk wheels/tires, etc...
