You can get a 14"x3" element under it. If you get a drop-base cleaner you'll have to keep the spacer ring. If you get a non-drop base you'll have to throw it away. Get a non-drop.

Mark that's only half true. If you have no plans on getting/making a TBI Spacer then a non-drop base with a 3" filter is your limit. But if you use a 3/4" TBI Spacer you can use a drop base (without using that POS gold ring) and a 4" filter. Eitherway will be more then enough air.
