Mark,

This is TR6 info but may help you in your search.

K&N Filter Site - http://www.knfilters.com/- K&N Bolt on Air Filter Kit &
Elements - K&N part# 56-9156 - Element by itself is part# E-9144.  Bob
Greene says part# is 56-1620 right off the box.  Check with Advance Auto
Parts/Auto Zone http://www.knairfilters.com/56cat.pdf

- K&N Filters in original TR6 air box  The big three will point you to
K&N Part #E-2540 but is also said to be too tall for the TR6 air box. 
The K&N #E-2540 is 2-3/16 inches high. The Fram for a TR6 canister, part
number CA656 is 2 inches high. The E-2540 is too high and will be
compressed when fitted into a TR6 canister.  The closest element to the
stock filter size (based on the Fram filters which seem to fit real well)
is the #E-3360. That one is 2 inches high and fits without compressing
into the canister.  If you get the E-2540, make sure the elements are not
getting compressed in the housing as that might affect the air flow.

Good luck,
Jay
