the filter you were looking at was probably a standard K&N air box filter, make sure what you are looking at is a cone style filter. they also sell universal filters just make sure the cone is small enough to fit where you need it to, and make sure the intake pipe diameter matches the diameter of the silicone sleeve on the bottom of the filter.

yea tell me about it it has a picture explaing the different dimensions at the top and if you click the part number it gives a picture and specs. on the product. its good in the way that you can select exactly what filter you want, ex: open end, length, width, whatever. hope you figure it out.

yeah, i would also recommend the universal. put it on a 2001 accord with $7 ebay piping and clamps. looks and works great. pipe is pipe as long as it's bent properly... it's like $40 on the k&n online store... when i got it, it said on the box it was "for offroad use only"... right. looks the same and works the same as any other cone filter.

i went with AEM on my car and already have a K&N. i would measure it but dont feel liek takng off my bumper right now. heres what you do. when your ebay intake comes in the mail, take out a ruler measure the different dimensions and then find a K&N of similar size. go ahead and bolt it on and then swap filters when yuo get it.
