I agree, if you're restricting air flow - bad
and if it's hot air - bad

I personally like a box, since it helps keep some heat out, which there's quite a lot of heat underhood now since I installed my headers.

My only thought on an open cone would to be to try to get it closer to the fender/headlight, and try to get it closer to that cold air/away from the hot air.
