    have a look around using the search function , you'll find many threads debating the merits of cone vs box, cold air feed options etc,etc

      I wouldn't, unless you want less performance.

        Dahlbach do one for the RS2 which I have although i think they sent me the wrong heat shield. I might swap for your RS2 box if you are interested.

          You will get more noise with a cone filter, but probably to the point it will do your head in (ask andy casey ) plus unless you can keep the heat away from it then it really is best to keep the box.

            The really neat thing with a cone filter on the I5 is that it doubles as traction control
            (don't do it, unless you want to reduce power by 20+hp)
