Default Need input on modifying my stock intake

So i decided im going to modify my stock intake. instead of buying a whole entire short ram intake im just going to keep my stock rubber tubing and attach a brand new filter head to it. so i had a couple of questions.

i have a 95 honda del sol. b16 engine

1st question is, will any of these fit? these are universal and i expect them to fit but i am unsure. i am not talking about the measurement i am talking about the tubing size. will this fit with my stock rubber tubing?

2. will the measurements fit? i dont understand the measurement lay out so i have no idea if they are too big or too wide. any help would be appreciated.

3. do i need anything else to make this happen for example a clamp? i expect my car has one already and i dont need to buy another one but i am unsure.

4. any other brand or suggestions would be also appreciated. i know k and n is a good brand thats why im going with it. i want a big air filter cuz i want more air flowing through. correct me if i am wrong on that. so if possible recommend me another air filter or tell me which one i should get out of the ones listed.

On my b16a in my 99 SI, I took off the stock air box and went to a muffler shop and bought a 4 inch long piece of 3" exhaust piping. The piping fits very snug into the stock rubber intake arm. I welded on a small support bracket and mounted to one of the three suspension bolts. Then I just went and bought a universal filter (3" inlet) from the auto parts store and clamped it on. It has worked very well for me so far. I also didn't want to drop $150 on an aftermarket SRI, so I got creative and made my own for a whopping $30.

ok thats good too know, since that was the case, i just went ahead and bought a spectre air filter

it was pretty cheap and looks pretty nice

good to know, thats what im about to do, im not sure if i have to make any adjustments to make the intake fit. but if not i can always go to home depot and pick up some parts to make everything fit together
