The biggest problem with some of the cheaper Cone filters, is the size.
If you go with a Cone filter that is less than 3"x5" Dia, then the filter would be too small and will result in lost HP.
Also unless there is some way to keep the intake air cool (such as a cool air box), you will also loose HP when the engine is warm and you are not moving much over 45 MPH.
