Intakes for 2011+ models?

Hey guys, still new to the site, and I am not able to easily find what I need through the search feature. I want to know which intakes are available for a 2011 model R55? I have an S model, and I know of the Alta intake, but not any others. Will an intake from an R55/R56 2007-2010 S model fit on my car, or not due to having the newer engine? Also, will the K&N typhoon intake, give me a better sound than factory like the Alta or DDM (being able to hear the BOV/boost more clearly?). Thanks!

NM-Engineering (http://nm-eng.com/home.aspx) also has intake systems for the 2011 model year.

Can't tell from the NM Engineering site or the WMW site whether or not the NM filter element in this kit is dry or oiled. Can anyone enlighten?

Keep the stock box and install a better fliter in it. . Save your money for getting a tune such as one from revolution mini works(you can find a link to RMW in the vendor dirtory)meth kit, intercooler, and a turbo back. thouse changes will net you the best gains.
