they all look like stockers to me... no pictures though
you pretty much have three choices, A custom made box manifold, an Indy, or a magnum intake.

with the magnum intake you have to rig a device that will open up the secondary runners in the intake to be able to take advantage of its gains. alot of people use an rpm window switch. do a search for it.

I have heard good about both indy and box, and i have heard bad about both. I have an Indy. But i also have a turbo so it was a big performance boost for me. I could physically hear the difference in the airflow in the intake. the old stocker made a rushing sound kind of like a compressor. the indy opened it up and has a nice plenum for the pressurized air to go into. box manifolds work on the same principal with the plenum but the runner lengths vary from intake to intake to more or less tune it for a specific power band.

do some research and make your own conclusions about them and im sure you will be happy either way. be warned the indy will dent your wallet though...

Good luck

If you have a normal(non rt or acr) then either snagging a magnum manifold with the motor and switch or making a ghetto blaster are your best choices.
