A cone filter does not limit the revs. The ECU does. The ECU limits the RPMs to around 4000 in neutral, at red line in gear and limits the top speed of the vehicle. --- A cone filter is larger than the air intake pipe. If anything to do with air intake limited the RPM's, it would be the smallest opening which is the throttle body.
