Default best intake for b18c5 swap?

What's a good fiting intake for a b18c5 swapped EK hatch? I have a AEM short ram on my '97 and it fits like crap. What's everyone using?

Well I swapped a B18c5 into an ek coupe, and I ended up having to use an SLP intake and lid for a 98-02 trans am. Bolted up just fine and made decent hp.

nah, drifter187 needs to stay away, there are people actually trying to find things out.

Whale ***** intakes work great.

nah, they actually get more air in and everything, I ran an AEM v2 on my b16a I had and it did ok, but I put a friends Whale ***** on it and ran it for a day just to see how it did and I could actually feel a difference in the pull.

AEM v2 is flashy, its proven but the PasswordJDM power chamber is probably more safe and will do the job just as good. you probably will get more power out of the power chamber. plus, no need to worry about water or getting a bypass valve.

For my EM1, my setup will yeild more gains than most.

B18C5 swap with stock intake box, k&n filter, and instead, a swapped P30 intake manifold that was ported from Extrude hone.

What "style" works best? Is an Intake made for a b18c5 going to fit better than one built for a EK? Saw one with an Iceman that fit nice. If any of you guys feel up to it, pics would be cool!
