Hey,
When it comes to intakes, hp gain is minimal (same with exhausts). The companies advertise "x" amounts, but those tend to be quite generous, and even if they were accurate, you would hardly notice a 7hp increase.
That being said, I love my intake because of the sound that you can get out of it from under the hood. (It is significantly louder than the stock intake, and finally you can hear something from the outside).
I have the Takeda intake.
It is said to be one of the loudest of the bunch.
I would recommend browsing forum threads about these intakes as there are already many. Youtube videos don't always do justice but they can give you some idea (for sound, as hp gain is minimal if any)
Hope you find one you like.

it's not open to public yet is it? i emailed them a while back and asked about it and Paul said "We are working on a cold air intake. We can make it for you, but we do not have any dyno data yet. Estimated gains for it are 3-4whp. Is this something you would be interested in?"

The hard part with measuring gains on any intake is that the car isn't moving when the dyno is done. Based on historical data, a true cold air intake produces more horsepower than a short ram air intake due to where the air is being received from and how it is typically colder than air in the immediate area of the engine.
I know Joe Z has a great quality product in his intake, and I had the F-Sport so I know it is good as well. With that being said, I am much happier with a real cold air intake. The sound is awesome and there is definitely a bit more power comparatively speaking.
