You say eBay intake, if that is the one with the filters inside the engine bay then it is not the preferred set up by a long way. We would call this a hot air intake - no good. On an SRT it is definitely not good as there is enough heat to get rid of already.
The OEM setup takes air from in front of the radiator and that is not by chance. Why would you want to modify the intake system and feed it hot air? It would be counter productive to say the least, it looks like crap anyway, of course it is all in the eye of the beholder.
