What next? Hi Flow Cats or CAI/R2C?
It's been about a month since I installed my Ark exhaust. What do you guys think I should shoot for next? Hi Flow Cats or an Intake (Cold Air Intake or an R2C short ram)?

I would trust chuckie. He has data to probably back up claims but what is $/hp ratio and which is the best Berk like you have? Would you recommend them today or something else?

Yeah I had a feeling I'd get better performance with HFC. I was thinking of Berk HFC instead of test pipes so I don't have to worry about inspection issues here in Texas.
Yeah I noticed his signature modifications. I would also like to know what he recommends for HFC.

I've never had someone check out under my car for a visual cat in Texas. I've been registered in Houston and San Antonio before.

edit: in these counties they do emissions testing https://www.txdps.state.tx.us/rsd/vi...nCriteria.aspx
I did the cold air intake 6-8 months ago and got a noticeable difference. I just did the fast intentions high flow cats and noticed a much bigger difference, although they are a pain in the *** to install. The cold air intakes you can do yourself in a couple hours tops.

They only do tail pipe emissions test for obd1 vehicles years 91-95. These vehicles must be driven on a dyno to simulate a load, unless they are awd which will require holding the rpm at a certain range while in neutral.
For OBD2 vehicles all they do is hook up a cord to your DTC connector and as long as all your emission monitors are "ready" than you are good.
I did state inspections from 2012-2014
