Which intake??

Hi, I am a relatively new member to this forum, and I yet have my own evo ix...
However, I have done extensive research on cars, turbos, and bovs and what not, and now Im just making an imaginary list of parts that I could add to my "collection."

So my plan for my future evo ix is to keep it clean and simple.
I already chose the HKS carbon ti as my catback
and their ssqv BOV, because I live around their HQ

But now, which intake should i consider or buy,
I looked into Injen, AEMs, and Apexi, but which one is better?
I like the Injen because of its upper+lower pipes, but... could there be a same or better one with a cheaper price?

screw all those mods, get a flash, a turboback exhaust (hks is kinda restrictive) and if you have to get an intake go with a hks or injen...also add in a mbc...

for the intake get the HKS hard pipe and use the apexi filter(do enough research and you'll see this is probably the most highly recommended filter).

turboback is a downpipe, testpipe and catback...mbc is manual boost controller or you can get an electronic boost controller and flash is getting car tuned via mail in flash, dynoflash or road flash...

HKS SSQV is a waste of money... With a hard pipe intake you can get the stock BOV just as loud as the HKS, I think that $200+ can be spent else where!!!
