An Ebay intake with a good filter (K&N) is the best option in my opinion. 1/2 - 1/4 the price and only a .5 whp difference

Once again... get the pipe on ebay for like $15 and throw a $35 K&N filter on it. Will work just as well or better than those $100+ intakes

Leave it stock. There all a waste of money. Unless you enjoy changing the oil in your air filter.

Post a pic of your engine bay so we can see exactly what we have to work with. I searched ebay and surprisingly all they have are the intakes you showed us

I have a K&N and it seems decent but not sure it's worth the price I got it as I got it mad cheap from a family member that worked at a store that sold it so I got a family discount.

Short ram intake is easier to install, and safer when driving at rainy places, deep puddles and stuff like that.
Cold air intake is a little harder to install, need to remove the front bumper, but it gets a slighty colder air when driving.... personally... i believe that CAI gives no extra horsepower than SRI.
The K&N air filter basically carries the same components of an ebay filter. They both get dirty and will need to be washed eventually, so why pay for the big brand?!?

I think I phrased that wrong it was worth it for the price I got it for but if your paying full price I'm not sure it would be worth it. Especially when you can get an ebay one a lot cheaper.
