I'm no expert, but I think that adding a K&N free-flow filter that fits in the stock air box(available at your local auto parts store) is an advisable solution. The cone filter sits right behind the intercooler. The purpose of the intercooler is to take heat out of the intake air, making it denser. This heat is absorbed by the air SURROUNDING the intercooler. If your car is drawing from the warmed air surrounding the intercooler, you're just reintroducing the heat back into your system and at least partially defeating the purpose of the intercooler.
You should also consider that the air inside the engine compartment is going to be much hotter, and therefore less dense, than the air outside. The airbox draws from outside air for a reason.
In other words, the cone filters may allow more air flow, but the air will be less dense.
