K and N filter or Cold air intake

Does K and N filters really increase horsepower? Are they worth the price?
Is it worth the trouble to customize a Cold air intake for the older maxima? Are they better than K and N filters? I am only asking because I am trying to do some mods to my car and I am going for the intake first than exhaust. Thanks for all the advice in adance.

Go to auto zone and you can buy the hose and do your own cold air and use the k&n filter...

There is no hole. Its just the regular rectangular air box I have with a K and N filter in it. Do I need to take the air box off and put a plastic hose from where the regular air box was? Do I need to buy a cone filter? What size do I need to buy? Which brands are the best?
