Which CAI to get???

iv been reading these CAi threads for a while and really dont know which to get. I have an L99 with no mods now. There are just so many out there. I want to try to get the most RWHP i can get out of it without voiding the warrenty. Suggestions?

LMR is a piece of cake for install... Vararam would be a bit more work, but with instructions would also be doable for a noob...

I'm sure you've seen the pics if you've searched around. Vararam hasn't been released yet but lots of folks have LMR. Hennessey is another good one if you like a chrome look.
