Default Need Help Buying the Right HFC

Hello Folks,

First time poster here so apologies if any of this sounds ignorant but I do need some insight. I've caught the mod bug, very badly in fact. I have a 2014 370z (base model) and I've been upgrading it for about a year now.

I have:
  • Stillen cold air intakes gen 3
  • armytrix cat back exhaust (I know it was pricey and I could have went with a cheaper option but I do enjoy the sound. Having said that, after some research I should have went with the AAM R-Line 3 True Dual Exhaust system)
  • stillen headers
  • z1 performance upper intake manifold mod

Now I need help choosing the right high flow cat. I wanted to go with stillen but unfortunately they discontinued making high flows and headers. I know I should have gotten my HFCs sooner but I didn't. I have searched the web profusely for them and although some sites have them on their online inventory, when I call they tell me that it is an error and that they are out of stock currently.

My next option is to either dish out more money on ebay for those same stillen HFCs or go with another brand that has great quality. Reading up a little bit on this and Berk HFCs come up.

Is this a good purchase for me? Is it ok to have so many mixed and matched parts in my build? Will there be any fitment issues between the stillen headers and the berk (or other) HFCs? (**Straight pipe or long tube headers are NOT an option for me**)

I have not had my car tuned or up on a dyno yet because I'm waiting on this last piece to do so. I'm anticipating something around 335 - 350 at the rear wheels after everything is installed and tuned.
I plan on getting new calipers and rotors as well as a new suspension later on this year. But for now I need some advice on where to go for my HFCs. Berk, AAM, Fast intentions etc....which brand will give me the best bang for my buck?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers
