1. BTG (and similar) CAI with the smooth pipe and the K&N style filter. The downside I see to this is that the filter isn't really drawing a lot of truly cool air; it's just sitting in the engine bay which gets mighty hot in stop/go.

Mighty hot is a good way to put this... I spent 3 weeks comparing the intake temp of a stock setup vs the BTG and found that the BTG averaged 20 degrees hotter over outside temp. The big difference was in stop-n-go where it was often over 160F around the BTG filter compared to the stock filter hanging in at around 120F. This is on a 85-90 degree day.
