Cold air intake?

I'm looking at cold air intakes. I put one on my last car and I want for my mini.
I've been looking online and there's a few to chose from. Which one is the best?

In my opinion, not really needed. An intercooler will be of greater benefit than an intake. If you want cool air going into the engine, the intercooler is going to be the component that gets it done.

That being said, after you install an updated intercooler, I like the NM full intake for best option:

My second choice would be the AEM, since it make full use of the hood scoop:

Ive got the NM full intake. I love the sounds. Adds nothing to the HP but would be needed for further go faster down the road with other parts.
