Cold air means it's getting it's air outside the engine compartment somehow, usually down a channel in the vehicles body. The air filters you're talking about would only work with a naturally aspirated car, since they sit on the carb, and would only add pressure if they where in a hood scoop of some sort.
With the CAI you get some minor pressure from the car moving forward forcing the air into the ram. That help some? And yeah K&N are good.
