I have the AMS widemouth DP, high flow cat and single race exhaust and I love the sound. When I first put the DP on I instantly felt faster spool and strong flow. I think it just comes down to personal preference which brand you go with. I like to keep everything as one brand as much as possible because it looks cleaner imo and you know everything will match up perfectly and run right because that's how the company tested them. Both companies are great and stand behind their product so either way you can't go wrong, but the noise of the open dump probably will get annoying after awhile, again imo.
In terms of the sound factor, does changing just the downpipe to for example the ETS downpipe and leaving the stock midpipe/catback make a huge difference in how loud the car is? I dont like how quiet the stock exhaust is, however I do not want something extremely loud. Any input would be appreciate. 
The best exhaust on a turbo car is no exhaust. Everything else is a compromise. The turbo itself provides significant back pressure as it is. I have a dump my self and I love scaring pedestrians with it.

hello fellow evo enthusiasts,
i'm looking at purchasing a new downpipe and i’m stuck and i really don't know which one to get.
i know ams claims ""the ams evo x "wide mouth" downpipe is the most power producing and well designed downpipe on the market""
and ets claims ""this downpipe has been engineered to be one of the highest flowing downpipes on the market""
however i’m stuck.. I know the ets is more money and louder under wot but is it worth the extra money?
i can tell you this will be one of my last mod.. I currently have ets intake, ets uicp, ets licp, ams high flow cat, hks hi power exhaust.. And don't plan to go bigger turbo, built motor, or anything crazy like that.. Maybe an intercooler later on..
so basically would the extra money and extra noise from the open dump dp be better for my setup or would the ams produce around the same power without the wot noise?
thank you guys..

The dump will eliminate any fear of Boost Creep and makes the exhaust more efficient as the dumped exhaust doesn't interfere with the exhaust flow. It's miniscule at best however so you have to ask if you like the dump sound or not.
