Default Best Intake kit on the market

So i picked up my truck today and i'm in love, turns out it is the 310hp 5.3. my question is which is the best intake for our trucks and are they worth it...just trying to figure out if any intake would complement my corsa catback that is on the way nicely. thanks in advance!

I have a UPD, it utilizes the stock lower airbox, with a stock replacement drop in k&n air filter. this looks stock, and works well. I've seen aem brute force, and i liked it as well. i'm told the upd has a tendency to crack, i got my at a steal, look on ebay, you can get 'em cheap usually.

I have a True Flow intake (www.trueflow.com) and it's a nice kit. Very simple installation and a noticeable gain in performance especially anything above 3500 RPM's. I noticed you are getting a Corsa soon. You will love it. The True Flow intake actually made my Corsa a bit louder.

my vote is for the homebrew intake. lots of money saved! does the same job for a lot less money. do a search for homemade intake and you will see some that people on here have made.
