Looking for a better hot side charge pipe with stock look

As the topic says, I'm looking for an upper charge pipe that's better than stock, but can fairly easily pass for stock. I live in SoCal, where CARB is a ****, so the closer it looks to stock, the better.

Also, I know that just changing the charge pipes will do jack squat without other upgrades. Just humor me though.

Anyway, here's a few that I've looked at:

The Ingen pipe is CARB approved, but I utterly hate how it goes over top of the engine. Yes, the air flows better that way, but looks, dammit!

I do like the Dejon pipe, but unfortunately they're no longer in business.

I very much like the ZZP pipe and in fact it would be just perfect, except that they put the ZZP logo on it, in which I might as well wave a giant red flag to the smog ref.

Recommendations welcomed.

The ZZP logo is just tac welded on, ask them to cut it off before they ship it.

The treadstone charge pipe looks very stock and it's cheaper.

I barely even see my zzp logo on mine. I actually wish it was more noticeable.

You can probably ask them to make you one without the logo. Since they are made in house, it won't be to much trouble.
