OEM is the best design. You won't outflow it, and it's the most "cold air intake" of any of them out there.
If you really want function over form. Get an OEM rev-up airbox, with an Amsoil Dry flow drop in panel filter, and a Z tube. Then call it a day. You will have the coldest, most straight shot intake, and you will still be filtering well too.

AEM- Pros: Sounds/looks cool
Cons: Metal-retains heat,
Open filter design-sucks in underhoodheat,
Oil Filter- Filters poorly compared to OEM Panel filter
OEM- Pros: True "cold air" intake, is completely sealed off from engine
Plastic- Doesn't retain heat as much as metal
Paper filter-Filtering quality is far superior
Cons: It doesn't look or sound "cool".
Moral of the story. Try it out! You can always re-sel it. Just hang on to your old stuff so when you do go back, it won't cost you anything!

I just bought a Z tube and waiting for the package. I am going to install on the G right away without a filter upgrade. I have been looking at the Stillen Highflow airbox/filter due to the OEM look and added sound. I look forard to any information others have b/c I'm in the same spot. - 2003.5 Sedan 5AT
