Replacing mushroom filter for conical?

I’ve had the SBD kit for 3 years and the inside of my intake pipe looks awful. So I want to change this mushroom filter setup for something like a K&N cone filter.

The only post I found on someone doing this with a turbo kit had problems with the rubber melting and tearing where it connects to the intake tube, from the K&N’s rubber not being able to withstand the heat under the hood. He said it “couldn't stand up to the heat and the weight of the filter hanging of the flange without any other support.”

Has anyone had better luck replacing their mushroom filter for a cone filter? If so, what size and can you post pics? There’s hardly any room for a cone filter unfortunately and I don’t want to delete my washer fluid bottle cuz this is my DD.
