You might want to reconsider using the OEM air box. Replacing it with the cone filter will draw air from the engine bay (hot air bad) vs. through the front of the car with outside air (cool air good). Doesn't look quite as good but better for the engine.
Do a search on this topic on the forum as there are many threads discussing it. Some guys have used the cone, but worked up a way to shield it from direct engine heat and/or pull air thru the front vent.
I use the K&N with the Jag air box and am very pleased.

+1. These engines generate some serious under-hood heat. A cone filter open to under-hood air will reduce your performance.

+2 Totally agree with Jag #4 & WhiteXKR. I have a K & N filter in the stock box for the last four years no problems. I have read on the forums that some members have removed their aftermarket cone filters and replaced with the factory box and have seen performance improvement. When you clean and re-oil the K & N be careful don't over oil it. Too much oil can make the map sensor foul out. I've been running K & N's on all our vehicles for about 10 years with no problems.
