K&N as a brand has always worked well. Just stay away for cold air intakes. My car got a ruined engine from one of those sucking up water from a puddle like a straw and hydro locking the engine.

ive had both K&N FIPK with the heat shield and the typhoon. fipk sounded terrible, typhoon was nice and gained 2whp and 7wtq on the dyno, it was a noticable gain, but both were too loud. and their filter is terrible only 92% efficient. if you go with these intakes, get an AEM dryflow filter for it or a WR SW1 (weapon-r secret weapon oiled foam with special tack oil). but they only make it in two inlet sizes so the aem dryflow is the easier way to go.

They are pretty good intakes but not as good as AEM. AM have good filters to use.
And I have read that ITBS on the k20 doesnt work out that great.

yes, that's what they do - for more power you need to have it with other mods.
You just installed a big nose that makes a lot of noise when breathing, but needs now to improve the rest of the sytem. Install some cams for better efiiciency of the lungs and then a good wide open A$$ so it will flow good from start to finish.
