Just stick with panel filters like Green, that's what I say (unless, of course, you've got a FMIC fitted).

In any case, unless your induction kit is totally insulated from the underbonnet heat, what you may gain in a greater mass of freer-flowing air, you instantly taketh away by allowing this air to be hotter and less dense to start with. So, in effect, you end up back to square one... or worse.

Totally. Just make sure you build an decent insulating shroud as best you can around the cone filter and try to duct as much incoming air from the front of the car onto it as poss. Decent gains should be had, especially after your inevitable remap.
