I'm torn on what to get next...

I am in a similar situation. I currently have the HKS Hi-Power exhaust and strongly considering getting ART pipes.

I think you might notice a significant difference going from short tails to the HKS. Short tails seem pretty loud and the HKS is tame until you put your foot down. I was thinking ART pipes to wake it up a little bit and they also seem more reliable than HFC's which I also considered.

Yeah, I'm thinking the stock cats are more of a choking point than the stock intake is, so will most likely go that route. Though I'm still not 100% certain.

The stock intakes are perfectly fine from what I've been looking at. The changing out the cats will for sure help more with the air flow. Each day I consider buying ART pipes more and more.

I've kind of come up with the same conclusion from the reading I've done. I'm still going to do a full CAI at some point, but may actually do the upper and lower manifolds before that once the exhaust is done (keeping stock exhaust manifolds). I think there's more gains to be had from the upper and lower than from the CAI.
