Cowl intakes are like snorkels. You're moving your air cleaner out of the way of water intrusion. There's a company called THOR that makes a kit (http://www.thor4x4.com/) or you can make your own. If you google, I'm sure you could find some threads about it. CAI are not the same as a cowl or snorkel intake, btw.

The cowl intake does more than suck in cold air. It also raises your intake higher and in a somewhat sealed location. Similar to having a snorkel but a little lower.
Alot of us run the one you pictured.
(mine)
The chrome one is made by spectre- 100-150$. Replacement filters are 45$
There is also a black one made by Thor.
The only downside (to some people) is they are kinda loud in the cab when you stomp on it.
Easy to install- Just need a 3" hole-saw, drill, screwdriver. My spectre has been on there for quite awhile- I have only had to replace 1 filter and a 7$ rubber section. Ive been happy with it!
