Cold air or short ram intake in 2014 FRS?

So I'm in the market to purchase an intake, ideally I'd like a cold air intake but I know they're a little more pricey.

Any suggestions or opinions would be greatly appreciated!

Or Grimmspeed if the money just has to be spent all on an intake.

If you're equipped to adjust the tune to stop losing power and fix the mess... Well, do the research. GS or filter and elbow otherwise. Stock is good enough that it's just not a source of notable gains, but due to the MAF setup is an easy way to hurt output.

Drop in allows more flow, new elbow tube allows smoother flow. No need for a system unless you feel like throwing money at flashy parts.

stay away from short ram intake....the idea is that you want more cold air into your engine...perrin 2.5in intake is a good choice...
