Funny how an ETS vs FR thread turned into a OS vs TS thead.... lawl
Anyhow, if you're talking about manifold design and craftsmanship. FR for many reasons. No disrespect to ETS, but they're on a different level.

My opinion is that they both have fantastic craftsmanship. I would really have to dig hard to find a negative thing thing to say about ether company. If i had to pick between the 2 I would go with ETS due to the fact that when i have dealt with them in the past it was some of the best customer service i have ever received while buying anything. ETS also has prven them selves time and time again in the evo market. making a turbo kit that puts out 1117 on a 2.0L is damn impressive

Glad to hear it. 
I'd argue that. But I'm biased towards my own product. 
Some of the things my manifolds feature Full Race's do not and vice versa. Full Race's manifolds are without a doubt top notch quality and when I can't help an individual out the only other company I would recommend going to for a manifold is Full Race.

I have to admit Shearer's manifold looks ****! I love how my manifold looks. Ron does a kickass job welding. The man has skills that are comparible to a MACHINE! Actually, he might be a machine. Mr. Roboto!
I met Shearer over at D. Buschur's house and he is one cool cat too. Best customer service in the world. You won't regret going with Shearer. I promise!
See you next year Ron. I'll be at the shootout next year running deep into the 9's with your turbo kit.

Also another thing to think about is the welding on each manifold.
Full race uses Robtic welding where the welds have little to no porosity and they look exactly what a weld is supposed to look like. A stack of dimes that has been knocked over.
ETS welds are done by hand, Still great welds, better than I could do when I was a welder in the Navy.
But you kinda can't compare apples to grapefruits. One company uses robtic, one uses hands.
