If you want a TRUE cold air intake. ARB Snorkel or a cowl snorkel is the only way to go.

X2 those aren't cold air intakes they're considered "short ram intakes" and it will be sucking in hot engine bay air. Cowl snorkle or true snorkle is the only way to get cold air.

I'm currently running a AEM Brute Force but will be switching over shortly to a cowl snorkle.
