all intakes are bent metal... when you buy others you are just buying the name.

I got a cheap cone filter off eBay on my car right now, and it feels a little nicer than stock. Sounds better too.

I've got the K&N FIPK (filter and adaptor plate plus mounting hardware), and there is a difference in the more expensive brands. The JWT, the K&N FIPK, and other higher priced ones have the adaptor that has a tapered inlet into the intake tube so they flow better since the moving air is smoothed out as it enters the intake.

The cheap stuff on ebay usually have a 3" tube and is not tapered to funnel air in. There is usually a big difference in the prices between the expensive and the knockoffs, so it's all up to your budget restrictions.

good thing about injen and aem intakes is that they come with carb sticker (you will need proof of purchase).
