Best bang for the buck and greatest ease of installation remains a set of smooth tubes (e.g., Cobb) and K&N panel filters (details in the Proven Power Dyno Thread)
Or, if you can find a set of G3's or a similar design for around $300, go with those, as you'll probably pick up 6-8 more whp. I wouldn't ever run any intakes that have the filters by the wheels, as the AEM one does, especially if you live in an area prone to flooding. I also have a (presently stalled) intake project underway with Swift Racing that will utilize CNC'd bell mouths to improve flow, but no idea when those will be made.

There isn't any gains though off of the silicone tubes right? I mean it really doesn't make sense. HPS said there is a 6 something gain with both hp and tq. Input?

MAF tubes help, but it isn't very beneficial by themselves. Adding them to K&N drop ins, the pair seems to be greater than the sum of their parts. Though as you can see from the graph Jordo posted, there is still some restriction at high rpm and the intakes are primarily the reason why the gains plateau. Keep in mind this is only in the last 1,000rpm of the power band. CAI's will not plateau until just before redline, but it's not a restriction of the intakes at that point.

If you are on a tight budget and can only pick one, I'd say go for the panel filters alone. Although you will gain a good bit more with the G3's, for me the price difference just isn't justified -- more than twice as much for 6-8 more whp and the hassle of removing the bumper. If you can find a set used ($300ish ball park) I'd say its worth it, but only then. I'm going to see about the delay in the Swift racing intake and see if I can get that moving again -- details here Interest is New Intake Design? Looking for a test car! If I can get that moving again -- I think that would be the best of all worlds. Calling Swift to express interest certainly couldn't hurt...
