ETS all the way. Some things I liked about the ETS kit is the high quality and great fitment. Also its one solid piece. Some are two piece, and the silicone coupler comes really close to the body in that area and can rub. Also, with one piece it means less places for boost leaks. Im all a fan for aluminum piping as well, but another reason I went with ETS was because it was SS.
Personally, I want something that is that low to the ground to be able to withstand something coming up and hitting it, and makes it easier to safely torque down your t-bolt clamps without worrying about getting your AL piping put of round.

i got the ets, and the spool was 200 rpms quicker. it is also smoother throughout the powerband. i was bone stock when i put it on, so i felt a major difference. not hp wise, but drivability wise. very nice.

Nisei. One piece, aluminum and has a bracket like factory one. I am not sure if it is a little more $$ than ETS.

I had the Nisei licp on the car when I bought it, nice piece for sure but I recently installed the ETS V2. The ETS licp fits great and I really like how the coupler fits the J pipe over the Nisei, ETS also appears to be a bit shorter than the Nisei one.

I didn't notice any difference in the car between the two really, but i did install the old Nisei on my friends VIII (still had the stocker on it) and saw a big gain in spool and the car does feel like it pulls harder.

My .02 both are good choices but I lean towards ETS for sure!

Just curious, why did you swap out the Nisei on your car?

Put ETS on a month and a half ago. No complaints.

Got a good deal on the set, UICP (short) and the LICP. I liked how the ETS one looked and fit more than the Nisei so I went with it

Nisei aluminum LICP. Though I have the UICP and Competition FMIC also from them.

ETS and Muse are basically the exact same thing...Muse is $50 cheaper.

You decide...
