Default A4 B5 intake suggestions

I have a 1999.5 A4, and I want to get a new filter to get a better sound. In my opinion Audi made the intake quite nice already, so I don't want the full system, just a new filter.

I have been looking at...

or
http://www.andysautosport.com/audi/1...filters/injen/
or
http://www.andysautosport.com/audi/1...p00027261.html

Im new to this car so I am not to familiar with sizes of things.
Could someone please help me decide on which of the above to get, or any other suggestions, and can you help me on what size to get?

All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks you.

i wouldn't do any of them... i would do the airbox mod and maybe a dry h/f pannel, or i did the k&n, but you need to let it sit out and dry or you will be replacing your maf

Is the mod hard to do?

Thank you!
Do I have to do the mod in order to use the filter, or no, because I don't feel comfortable doing everything listed in the mod.

Alright.
You recommend the KN&N cone right?
