Default SRI heat shield

i am thinking about getting a heat shield for my AEM SRI. are all heat shield the same? do they perform the same thing. i found these on Ebay.
Could someone point me in the right direction as to where to get quality ones? or would these ebay ones be good enough.

I have one, but it came with my Injen sri
I would imagine that they all are supposed to perform the same thing
It's not like one is going to add horse power or anything like that.

You're not necessarily getting cold air into your intake, if you want that, consider a cai
It just simply 'blocks' direct engine heat from getting to the side of the filter closest to the engine. But think about it, does it really just soak up the heat and make it disappear or is it just a piece of metal that holds constant heat, which it receives from the engine, around the intake, making somewhat of the same situation as if you did not have a sheild at all.
