IMO I think you should get the HFC. I've heard a Z with just test pipes and it's a little too raspy for my taste, I have HFC's and they're just right for my taste. Unfortunatley I don't have a recording of it, but I can show them to you in person if you'd like, depending where you live of course.

i had nismo exhaust on resonated test pipes
sounded very clean but you cannot go wrong with HFC's where the smell is minimal

I heard a 07 z with nismo exhaust and HFC's and it sounded amazing!!! if your really interested in hearing this setup i know a really nice guy who would let you hear it and possibly test drive with it on. At least he let me drive his car.
PM me if your interested.

are u also adding a y-pipe with your catback and testpipes?
When I had the combo of all 3 items it was loud as heck, but putting the stock y-ipe in the middle calmed it down and got rid of a lot of the rasp

Also, just make sure you get a HFC with support bracket(esp. Crawfords) otherwise they're prone to crack because of the Nismo Y-Pipe(no flex whatsoever).
