Tim, you forgot "true Cold Air Intake" FTW!

(btw, Injen is a HOT air intake, FTL).

I have a true short ram that I pieced together (70mm TB, no midpipe, LR maf, and JWT pop intake filter)


you can check the 5th gen classy's OR
you can buy one new direct from berk (http://www.berktechnology.com/) which is a good way to start

Now that the answer to the OP's questions have been answered, I am closing this thread. There are tons & tons of intake threads out there. Just search and you will be able to location the information.
