hmmm i dont know all intakes sound the same just get a cheap one they all do the same thing as there was a dyno chart on a vareity of intakes to bad the dyno graph didnt have aem or injen but im guessing theyd be the same thing a intake is a intake, if u want power than yoru gonna want something else besides a intake.

well i wouldnt say that they all do the same thing so you dont need to care... sometimes you can mix parts and not have as big a power gain as you could have...

who cares how the **** they sound? Those things are meant to be functional. You know... sucky sucky engine thingy. If you want it for the sound then install one of those blow off sound thingies while you're at it.
