Umnitza/simota or K&N typhoon v2 intake??

hey everybody. I'm having a dilemna on which intake to go with. I narrowed it down to these 2 intakes and I'm asking all of you if you had to go with either one of these intakes which one would it be and why? I like the design of both of them esp. the Umnitza but then after all the bad press it's been getting i'm kinda torn between it and the k&n v2. So if you guys could please shed some light on which one you guys feel is better and sounds better that would be great.

thanks,
Paul

I wouldn't go with the MS cai unless u want the mazdaspeed sticker on it , or unless you still have warranty and dont want to risk voiding it? I think the AEM is the same as the Mazdaspeed intake , just different sticker . I heard the K&N is the loudest of the bunch if thats what you're aiming for. Hope this helps.

the mazdaspeed intake keeps the warranty on the engine o.k.?
i thought mazda only backed up the warranty on the intake for 15k miles.
