judging from the pictures and description thats not a cold air intake. That would be a short ram intake. Don't know about the quality but if ya wanna short ram your better off spendin 50 extra bucks and gettin the weapon r secret weapon or get the K&N cold air which is an actual cold air intake. At least with those you know the quality is there.

Yeah, that looks more like a short ram. The air flow on the one that comes with the K&N filter would probably be more trustworthy. Only because I'm not sure what the carbon filter would give you, other than cleaner air maybe.
Since it would be getting its airflow from inside the engine compartment, it definitely is not a cold-air induction system.

Those are junk stay away. A guy I know put one on his and the MAF is in the wrong spot and the CEL won't shut off.
