I have a Steeda air intake system.
Both air intake system will give you the same Hp so I would get Steeda as it's cheater.
You could save alot of money here and just go down to autobarn, you'll be saving 100 to 150 just by buying it here man.
What state are you from?
It's not worth getting from the States.

I would really really worry about under bonnet heat soak with those open pods.

I would either look at the Pipercross Viper, or BMC CDA system (both expensive but great performance), or alternatively, the OEM SVT (ST170) system (seen here as the Ford Racing system) Flows well past 170hp
