The filters are very expensive 80$ but I have better filters (20$) that fit the tube, but not in the box. They are a bit fatter.
The EVO airbox does not really seal off the compartment anyway, but would it be better to use it rather than let the cone filter hang free?

I am not sure exactly what your question is, but the EVO filter is proprietary and its the only one designed to work with their air box . They do not recommend using any other brand or style of filter with their system. Furthermore, its considered a "life-time" filter, and with routine cleaning it should last indefinitely. Also, there has been some confusion amongst members as to whether or not the EVO filter should be oiled after cleaning it. I spoke with Ian at Evolution Motorsports, and the answer is yes. Although, it should only be coated with a light mist . As far as getting it to fit securely, I agree its pain in the a**. However, the technique that worked for me was to take a wooden dowel and create leverage on the filter end, and once everything was in place and the filter was snug against the airbox/intake tube I tighten down the hose clamps .
