Best Intake for G8 GT

I have been doing some research for a cold air intake for my G8 GT and I am stuck between these two intakes which one do yal recommend, I have heard nothing bad about either of them.

Right now though I am leaning towards the New Era Intake and the other one is the Roto-Fab Intake.

In the research that I have done the New Era Intake will produce way more horsepower but i am kind of sceptical that those vents on the hood will not get any water in the intake while it is raining.

What do yal think?

Also I know that there is the Magnaflow exhaust system out and in my view it is extremely over priced. I was thinking of make the G8 GT exhaust system into a X-Pipe with costum tubing and changing the mufflers to Twister Performance Exhaust Mufflers and keep the stock tips and everything else to keep it as a sleeper.

Any suggestions or input on that plan? Please let me know

Thanks

Chris

I just bought on '08 G8 GT two days away. It has 64,000 mi. I love it and I am also trying to choose an intake for it. I was at a ford place and saw the GT500 pony. they had the hood raised on it and the intake on it looked like the roto style. I'm not sure yet but I am leaning towards getting the same (Roto) as it looks good under the hood and from what I have read it performs too. but the first thing i want to get done is a dyno test so I can see it there is a real gain or not. I dont know the hp of my car right now but i can say it will fly. very fun car. looking forward to the upgrades.
