Alta Intake on an S?

I am looking to put an intake on the S I am ordering nest week immediately on arrival. Seem to me the Alta is the most popular? 2 questions..... should I get it with or without the neoprene or whatever it is made of hose...... and where is the best place to buy a new one. Feedback on other options are appreciated.....

If it was me I would get it with the silicone hose, I didnt and then had to pay threw the nose to get one, I got mine at JCspeed, but not sure how they compare these days. But all I can say is you cant go wrong with the Alta intake, but you have to love the s/c noise or it might drive you nuts, this intakes makes your s/c sing!!! which is music to my ears but not to others!!
