Firstly,...the box filter has more filter area... if you're worried about the size of the box being restrictive, think about the surface area of the filter... Secondly,... in open atmosphere, it would in theory have more air, if it needed it... but, there is turbulence out there... even your pants flapping is creating eddys of high and low pressure at the cone... an airbox is there to steady that air as it enters the filter and engine.... giving a more consistent air pressure to draw the fuel...
Cones are pretty,... velocity stacks are even prettier... ... and full open does do good for a 10 second firebreathing dragster, that will only be running WFO... ... but there aren't a lot of 30hp 650 thumpers in that crowd...
I'm not anti cone or velocity stack,... but they aren't a performance mod... they are a choice that involves trade-offs... Cosmetic, performance, weight, purpose... You will get the higher dyno reading,.. in a building, on a tester,(the building is acting as a giant airbox) ... but, you'll lose once you are outside and moving through the wind...
