the first one is made by ractive (toucan industry) which is ok, same quality like APC,
the second one don't know the brand so don't know is good or not,
the first and second are short ram intake (intake and air filter is in the engine bay),
the third one is made in Japan and import here and it is cold air intake (intake pipe and laid outside the engine bay, usually in the bumper),
cold air intake is better when talk about performance, but there one disadvantage is when rainning day don't run so fast or go over a place with a lot of water, water could escape into your engine and mess up so badly

i don't know what exactly horsepower you going to gain but not that much, 5 or 6 horse is the max, what company claim sometime is not true, you want to know what exactly horse you gain is take a dyno test,
my bad the last one is short ram intake same as first and second but much more expensive
cold air intake gain you a lot of horse but suck on rainy day, or you could put on AEM bypass vavle, which prevent water come into your engine, this cost another $30 to $40

3 bills and up for performance (like STR, BBK, JG EDELBROCK), may be cheaper for OEM
