By guys who know something about this stuff. Those who sell this will tell you anything to sell it to you.

I would stick with the Carbonio for discreet look and sound - if I was to go for something more induction then the forge kit looks good as the filter is further away from the hot engine bay - downside is you have to be aware of any large puddles/water.

Fatandre, the one you posted in the picture is on Awesome's site - see below

It doesn't come with a cold air feed and IMO wouldn't give gains as good as the Carbonio. It also means you either lose the engine cover, reducing the weather protection or buy the carbonfibre cover.

I am sure I have seen a pic recently of a engine mounted filter but with a heat guard round it - will see if I can find it and the make unless anyone else can tell me.
