K&N intakes are junk, they have no insulation to keep heat from the engine from getting sucked right back in. The box is really not a box, it doesn't have a lid. You could build all that yourself, but by the time you've gone through the money you could have bought a CAI intake for less that would work better.
Sounds good, I will go with a CAI intake. Thanks everyone

Just another quick question. From CAI is that all I need or are there any other parts I need. I have never installed one before, Is it pretty easy?

Pretty straight forward. I would say about 45 mins for me.

Installation is pretty simple using common hand tools. Here's a thread showing installation for a 3.8 engine, but the 5.3 should be similar:

It's just removing the stock air box and putting their box in it's place, all the hook-ups and everything are the same.
