There's opinions, then there's facts. The Best intake for a 5.7L Hemi is the RAHMAMMER by Hammer Automotive. Period
K&N, AEM, Mopar, ect. are mid-high level.
I'm waiting on the carbon fiber RAMHAMMER.
RaiderJay is one of the few people i've seen who actualey has one.

Personally, I'd go with the Airaid MIT. Replaces the stock intake tube and Hemi hat, but retains factory airbox. And I saw a site (bobtheoilguy.com i think) that showed (somewhat unscientifically, but still accurately) that oiled filters actually let by more particles than typical pleated filters.
Plus, you won't get all the water or engine heat sucked in to your intake (depending on setup, some are just an open cone filter in the engine compartment, whereas others actually pipe down behind the headlight.)
I'm probably gonna break down and buy one, I just hate the idea that I'm paying $100 for a piece of plastic tubing. RIDICULOUS! If I could fab one that looked decent (sorry, no Home Depot intake for me) I would go that route.

Just a little heads up incase you decide to go this route. The hole for the IAT sensor is on the back side on the tube. This makes a cleaner install but you'll need to get at least 4" of slack in the IAT harness. You just have to cut the factory tape and pull some out of the heat shield thingy and retape. Simple..
