currently not to many ppl have the funds to do anything great..and also its fairly new...so the market hasnt really made many aftermarket mods yet. just intake, headers, and all those other small mods. if i had the funds i think i would drop a supercharger in my 250 for fun =P
If my freakin' car would ever get here, I've got a Joe Z intake ready for action! 
Waiting on a Blitz or K&N air filter to go with it.

So what is the difference between these? Is that a air ram in the front of the car on the joe Z?

The difference is that the top one is simply a replacement for the stock tubing. It retains the OEM airbox
The bottom pic replaces the tubing as well as eliminates the airbox completely and uses a cone filter
The top one is actually a better design, the stock airbox is more efficient than the open cone setup.

the air snorkle is stock.
the idea behind the joe-z intake pipe is it removes the resonator champer, as well as the accordian style piping in place with smook piping providing less turbulant air suction. it does help to the tune of about 4-5 hp, looks much better, and has a nice sounds at 3-5k

you are totally right, the LMS intake is actually still a short ram intake that loves heat since the filter still sucking the hot air from the engine bay.
