Best Air Intake

Ok so I am looking for opinions on what you guys think would be the best cold air intake for my truck. I live in the midwest so it gets hot during the summer and very cold in the winter. My truck is not heavily modded but its not stock either, getting about 32 psi of boost. I am looking at the AEM Brute force hd and also the S & B. Any opinions would be great! Looking for the one that has the best air flow, filtering and sound, price isn't a huge deal. Thanks for any suggestions!

Spend as much as you like. Or, do a BHAF:

Or do a similar seetup with a washable Amsoil filter:

The BHAF is going to be the most cost effective choice. I am running an AFE system with the ProDry filter element. Nice intake, but I am not sure about the plastic tube it uses, it seems to be a little closer to the exhaust housing of the turbo than I would like. Oh well, I got it for about half price so I'm not complaining!

I like how my AFE Stage II fits and is designed.

If you can find a Scotty, thats what I've had for awhile now, I have 3 inlets for air to go through it.

I would never run a K&N in my truck, IMPO.
BHAF will for sure be the least expensive.
I really like my AFE stage II. I customized a cold air pipe from behind the front bumper up too my filter box. Saw EGTs drop 50* from it, only cost 20 bucks too.
Sounds cool.. Like the turbo is the hole passenger side of the power mill haha.

get a 6" afe prodry, from Garrett at puredieselpower. out flows a bhaf by a long shot for about the same price. use a $5 4 to 6" air ducting reducer and your set.
