Save yourself the effort & leave it standard, no gains with aftermarket 'go-faster' cone filters over standard in fact you'd be sucking air in from your hot engine bay and make things worse!  :y

Standard filter is as good as anything, and with a cone filter you will just be sucking in warm engine bay air instead of the cool clean air taken in from the intake behind the grill.
Not even worth changing for a K&N etc to fit the standard air box. In fact, it can prove detrimental to performance as the filter oil can mess up the MAF sensor.

Edit: Note to self....must work on using more than two fingers to type. ::)
