is it worth putting on a filter (for example K&N) or do u have to get a whole new intake if u want better performance and sound?

For sound I would change the whole intake. Seeing as how you have a 2nd gen truck you could remove your secondary air filter (free) and install an AFE Prodry S filter.

Relentless Armored! Too many others to list.

this has been asked tons of times but... the CAI will give you a little top end power and some growl. a drop in filter will give you a touch of extra power and maybe a little better MPG but no growl.
