Don't forget to reset the ecu.
I'd go for a panel filter, and then drill and derestrict the airbox

Sounds like heatsoak to me
That being warm air from the engine being sucked in by the cone?

Pretty much yeah, air being heated by the engine and then going in through the filter.

Just drill and derestrict your airbox and swap cheap filters every 8k or so.
