your looking for a pretty pipe with a filter. A $50 intake with good filter has the same effect as a $200+ intake with a good filter. In an Intake you should be interested in material, placement of all sensors and hoses, Bends, either Crush, Compression, Or mandrel, how many turns and such angles, and filter type. Dont quote you have K&N, they are not the best filter, just the most bought after FRAM.
If you do alot of city driving, its better to have a plastic intake then a metal one. Why? Road debris, and off the line performance. A metal intake will have issues with head soak sitting in traffic and at stop lights for long periods of time, slowing your takeoffs a good amount, varies by cars. A plastic intake doesnt suffer from Heat soak, so you get proven repeatedly good power off the line as well as highway and track driving.
