Neither.

Neither one will show hp gains on this car. Most gains are made on the exhaust side. Also, you probably want a cold air intake, not a cool one. Unless you just meant cool looking. At which point, buy the one that comes in the color you want. A semi-warm intake setup would be the stock system. And you're better off with the stock system than either the greddy or the injen.

It's been shown that intakes on this particular car don't add anything power wise with the exception of a couple very large intakes. If you insist on buying one that's fine but just know that if you are looking for hp gains you will be wasting your money.

One intake that does show gains is the PRL intake, which requires flash pro to run. There are a couple other similar intakes but again, same situation, needs flash pro to operate correctly. And by that, Im mean actually be able to drive the car. It won't run without it and one of those massive 3"+ intakes.
