I'm in the process of doinng a few mods to my SVT and the next thing I wanted to tackle was the intake. I plan on getting an optimized TB from bnoon. I want it powder coated to match the red accents on the engine.

I was also looking at cleaning the manifiolds and getting an intake. I know one of the most circulated suggestions is just a MAF adapter and a filter with a home made heat shield, but I was looking at something a little more polished looking.

With that said, what's the consensus on the best gaining complete intake system, the SHO Shop CAI, the AEM kit available at draxis.com (formerly duratecperformance), or the BAT pipe with a filter and MAF adapter? At this point I'm leaning toward the SHO Shop CAI since it includes a heat shield. Any comments on this would be appreciated.

I would have searched, but it's disabled.

Thanks.
