Ive got the aluminium ebay one, it fits okay but the finish is pretty awful. I just gave mine a key with some wet and dry and gave it a coat of matt black. It looks 100x better.

Bill at B5 also doses a plastic velocity stack or billet with filters to match.

I have got a really good setup just need to make my own heat shield and fit my other bits and bobs, basically i got a HUGE cone filter from ram air (will require a custom made heat shoeld by me) its got an 80mm then i added a 70mm reducer onto my maf, i plan and making a custom heat shield, then adding my cold air feed and ensuring its all nicely blocked up, when its all finished i will post up pictures but i still got my anni rear, silicone pipes and lights to fit just can't find the time :( but for now here is a poc my my folter as she is atm.
