I prefer AMS - again, many parts they are currently making are cast - flow better, better designs.

AMS parts i feel are more proven - look at the records that AMS broke when they were doing time attack - their parts and fitment are more than proven.

Both companies make good products - never dealt with ETS personally but i have a few people that have and never made any bad comments.

I will always go with AMS - but thats just me
ETS has done plenty with racing. You should see some of their drag cars, and the cars of guys who use their products (like English Racing, for instance). Absolutely nuts.

AMS makes awesome stuff, for sure, but my money tends to go the direction of ETS because they make awesome stuff AND are local to me. Means a lot.

My car is loud lol but it is probably the sound you want some people think its too loud but i love it. When the 02 dump opens then all hell breaks loose

I know it says ETS or AMS but after what I have read and the people I know with Evo 8's 9's and X's you should consider Buschur Racing too.

AMS and ETS are both top notch so you can't go wrong with either.

Personally I went with AMS for my stage 3 build.

I am not really in a place to say which company is better. But what I can say is the ETS parts I am currently running are the ETS 3.5" FMIC and hard pipes, ETS 3" TBE with quiet V2, ETS intake and I absolutely love the parts. Excellent fitment. My absolute only complaint is the couplers for FMIC kit have the phone number for ETS on it. But thats not much of a complaint at all. Michael is extremely active on here as well, which counts for alot IMO.

AMS parts are more expensive but they also command better resale value, so I'm not sure that the actual ownership cost is more.
