AMS or ETS

I've been looking at different fmics and pretty much narrowed it down to the AMS and the ETS. I'm trying to get the best bang for my buck here. What do you guys think?

Well the AMS is a 3.5 inch and $750 retail.

The equivalent ETS 3.5 inch is around $600.

They should perform very similarly. The biggest difference other than price is the AMS has very nice looking cast end-tanks.

Best bang for the buck would probably go to the ETS 3.0 inch at $400, as long as you don't need the extra cooling for a really big turbo. It would also have the benefit of being the lighter choice (but still heavier than stock, the stocker is very light)

I personally chose the AMS. I liked the cast tanks and the AMS stencil lol. Not sure if it's worth $150 but oh well.

Even better bang for buck is AGP, 3.5" for $445.00

I can say the ETS pieces are of very good quality. All the ETS components are working great on my vehicle. I would choose ETS again in a heartbeat.

I went AMS. But... have installed plenty of ETS parts as well. Both are great parts IMO. Can't go wrong either way.

Can't go wrong between the two! I already have a couple of ETS products and I will definitely be getting more parts from them!

They're both heavy but do a good job. See if you can find lighter options out there and with a similar build quality and performance .
