Hi Bill,

I used the K&N RR-2803 because it fit my throttle body and allowed air
in thru the sides and center.  I don't see anything on K&N's site that
tells me it's area, but it seemed to work OK.  I had it pointing
straight to the front.  It's 5.875" OD at the base, 5.25" OD at the top,
and 5" high and fits a 2.75" throttle body.
