ETS or AMS?

So, I've been looking for awhile now and feel like I'm ready to ready to pull the trigger on the ETS 4" Intercooler, exhaust manifold, DP, and V2 Extreme exhaust. Before I buy, I would like to know if anyone has any personal experience with this set-up or good reason to skip ETS and go with another brand (i.e. AMS)?

You can't go wrong with either company. I have AMS parts and just ordered an ETS full intercooler kit

ETS also offers a great military discount and there customer service is top notch!

I'm sure I can find about 100 thread with this same title I always think it's the same thread when I get notification.

If you have any questions, let me know. I'm more than happy to help you out.

Thanks!

Thread has been discussed numerous times. Both companies are great! ETS has awesome performance parts, priced great, support military, they are super active on EvoM, provide the best customer I have experienced...meets all my checklist requirements so a no brainer for me.

They are local to me too and when I went and picked up my parts Michael volunteered to show me their facilities without me even asking...great group of people there working hard.

My personal opinion...I like the AMS downpipe better. That being said, I like the ETS intercooler setup better. Get what you like, you can't go wrong with either.

Both are great companies. For the money, I went with ETS. Only thing I would spend a little more on from AMS is their all cast DP. My tuner locally tells me "if you plans on upgrading turbos, get a widemouth design", like AMS or TurboXS

ETS all the way. I have IC and DP and they are exquisite.

AMS is great too, but for DP I have heard reports that it doesn't work as well on stock turbo due to pulsing.
