I agree I think you're better searching and picking based on what you like. There isn't much of a difference (if any) in performance between them.

AMS, because the pipes are still ALUMINUM, like they should be.

comes down to three things really. Diameter (some are 2.5, some 3 and some a combination), material (AL, SS or mild steel), finish. I myself want a cold pipe without a BOV fitting so I can weld on my own.

Not only that, but the with the rerouting the long dump tube no longer fills up with boost.
