I would say Cyclone Feed For sure. I have been very impressed with mine.

I would see if you can find new grips for that. The blue ACT circle kind of gives you away in woodsball.

  Because the silver Tippmann 98 Custom lettering on the side is oh so stealthy.
 
OP, if you are running stock, air through can be nice especially if you are running a remote. Cylcones are great upgrades especially if you have E-grips or Response Triggers on them. If not, you really don't need one.

Check your sarcasm meter.  I think it needs new batteries.

On the newer marker with the ACT, it is just an aluminum sticker. You can take a hair dryer, heat it up and peel it off. Heat it up, lift slowly on one edge and keep heating while peeling. It should come off without any scratches or lifting of the paint.  Obviously on the older one with the cast lettering, the only real option is to grind them off and repaint.

I would use a hand file or maybe a dremel. If you are pretty adept at using a table grinder, maybe, but there isn't as much control with one of those. The receiver halves are made from cast aluminum and its pretty soft. You can burn through it pretty quickly if you arent careful.
