Default Need Advice on 2ES Intake Options

So since my Magnaflow muffler deal fell through, I'm looking for other ways to get a more aggressive engine note. Of course, doing a quick search has confused me even more. I pretty much have 3 options that I can choose but I want to get some opinions from you guys. As usual, the "performance and sound" factors would be great

-Phoenix's Custom-Built Intake
-Cosmo's Racing Intake
-Weapon R Intake

What do you guys think is generally the best of the 3 (or if there is more please list them)? I know Phoenix's one actually does something but I haven't really heard much about the other options. If any of you guys can point me in the right direction that would be great

In terms of customization you mean color and stuff right Viper?

Well, yeah.

I mean, you can choose to keep or delete the hose for the crankcase breather. You can add more piping to put the filter where you want it. I also added a 120 degree bend chrome pipe between the AFM and the filter to get it further away from the engine and tuck it behind the battery.

IMO, it's really hard to mess this modification up. Just understand how an intake works, and then use your imagination from there. From the many 2G intakes i've seen that weren't name brand, almost no two were exactly alike. If you need any help just throw me a pm.
