i have the JoeZ intake installed it my self and i love it i know its not on your list but it should be cheap and same gains if not better. About the sound it is deeper and the engine roars when flooring it i had just the Joez for about a week untill i had my tanabe installed but i still can hear that intake purring. JoeZ ftw!!!!!

If you want something that gives less power but more noise, go with anything other than a JoeZ. If you want 5 more dyno-proven rwhp and save some cash, get a JoeZ.

I went with K & N and it sound nice. My friends say they hear it from a down the block when i floor it. the K&N also comes with a shielding to protect it and it also allows you to keep the ram air duct. Im not sure if the other intakes have the same shielding.
