It's true that the powder coated pieces of the Mantec package do rust over time. The wing mounted piece on my 110 is now 4+ years old and has a spot or two bubbling. But the bottom line is that the Mantec design of top is far more effective at getting the dust out of the airstream, Before it goes down the pipe to the filter cannister. The proof of this is the long-term cleanliness of the filter.
Apart from the coarse screen across the inlet of the other makes, keeping big bugs out, they just don't prevent the dust from entering the system. The worst of these makes are the ones with the 'horn' top facing into the direction of airflow. Most of the raised air intakes are designed for appearance rather than efficiency.
