The OEM airbox is sealed with the rubber gasket and screws do it's air tight and has a feed going into it from the front of the car.
It's designed this way to stop hot air going into the system.
Using a cone filter will only draw warm air in when the engine is at running temperature......most engines don't like this and affects the running.

Agreed as above, I would just stick with standard or get a performance panel filter which would sound slightly better(nothing like a cone though). I've had a few cone filter kits in the past. They made my 1.4L 8v Astra sound like a V6 which was fun but now growing older and wiser, apart from the heat I remember how dirty and wet the cone became from all the crud that swirled around the engine bay.
