judging from the price of 2 different type of intake above, I assume you are taking about short ram.
Well, if you don't want to spend that $120+, try this; get a generic short ram from ebay, and get a K&N cone filter that fit the generic short ram. Now you get a short ram almost as good as the AEM short ram....
You can get a K&N cone filter from local autoshop(about $50). The part number for a 2.5" pipe is 3950(I am not quite sure). Just bring along the pipe(or the generic cone filter) and the saleperson will find one for you.
