Choose one, it won't do much except add some audible grunt.

There really is no difference that you will notice. Get the one YOU like the best.

To sum up.

they all add around 5 hp (or less in some cases).

The Joe Z is the cheapest that is dyno proven to add the same hp, and only costs $125. compared to the others that are all 2-4 times as much.

If you're addiing it for sound and don't care about hp then some of the more expensive short ram intakes will make more noise.

You can also cut a hole in the lower stock airbox so it looks like the F-sport lower airbox, and combined with the Joe Z you'll get the cost/performance benefit of the Joe Z and noise similar to the F-sport.
