K&N is not a performance upgrade, sounds nice but that is all. (so does making holes in the airbox lid or trimming it down all the way until you just have the edges wit the the clips left)
OEM paper filters filter very good, and allow more than enough air to pass.
Switching to a cone filter will not result in your engine taking in massive amounts of hot air.
When driving, the air in the engine bay is being refreshed/sucked out by the turning fan in such a rate that the temp inside the engine bay barely exceeds ambient/outside temperature.
The difference in intake airtemp when using a stock airbox or a cone filter is marginal.
Someone here on the board has taken temperature readings. (search function will come up with that thread)
