Default Intake Suggestions

I am looking for opinions on intakes. The one that came on my bike is not really my style and want to replace it with something a little more low profile.

I have an arlen ness on mine, it's a bit to "rock and roll" for me. I like the S&S teardrop, and they have them in black. I think I will be switching to that.

I'm not sure what mine is. Maybe you can tell from the photo. It's too much for me.

I do like my Trask Air Assault but be forewarned, the filter that it comes with is cheap and causes a restriction for higher hp builds and needs a K&N replacement(E-3226).
