Will these Brembos have the same noise problem the OEM Brembos had?

Brakes like these are not really an everyday DD brake setup. Sure they can function as such, but they work best when you push them. Of course at low speeds, one is going to hear some squeel, but IMO it is expected. Just about every brake setup I have ran(most were complete OEM setups) had some squeel at times under low speed situations. That said, I only have about 250-300 miles on these and only once heard any sort of squeel from these brakes.

After the bed in perioud I started hammering these. For example last night I did two very hard stops, one right after another from about 110 down to about 10 mph to see if they would fade. My stockers would fade on braking from 100 to 70 mph. The Brembos did not, the harder I pushed the pedal, the harder they grabbed

I beg to differ, I have no squeal whatsover at low speed, or any speed (red Brembo GT w/13" rotor).

It is going to depend on the pads and conditions. I have heard squeel a few times on my OEM non brembo pads, and once on my new Brembo GT setup. These are moving mechanical parts and for one to expect complete silence from a brake setup is just not being realistic.

Just make sure you bed them in and you shouldn't have to worry about noise issues. They look good.
