I would go with the Stillen G3. They are the best available for the 370.

Something to consider is that the engine bay of the 370 gets extremely hot... so hot that any short-tube intake is going to get heatsoaked. The Typhoon might show some gains on the dyno (with the hood open and a massive fan blowing cool air at it), but in real world situations it could very well lose you power since you are breathing in all of that hot air.

The beauty of the stock airbox system is that the filters are contained, and they draw air directly from the outside of the engine bay. They are pretty efficient and flow pretty well up until the last 500-1000 rpms of the range. That's where the aftermarket systems will really show some gain, and the G3s do it best. They keep the filters outside of the engine bay which is important because they won't be subject to the same heatsoak issues as you would with the Typhoon and other short tube intakes.

Install will require a little bit of work, but it's very simple if you take your time and be careful.
