The pipercross or any of the kits available with a cold air feed definately give some slight power gains over the cone style induction kits!
The stock air intake with aftermarket filter isnt bad tho as it still has a feed from the front of the engine!
Basically it boils down to how loud you want it to sound!
The Pipercross viper is significantly louder than stock!

the noise is definately down to personal preference. i have a magnex exhaust which on its own is nice & growly without being too noisy. when i put a cone filter on & removed the air box it was just way too loud - really boomy inside the car so i took it off & reverted back to the standard air box & put in a K&N panel filter. this gives the improvement in air intake but is only slightly louder than the standard filter
