Drop Base or Non-Drop

I'm going to put an open element filter on my LO3 and I was wondering if I should remove the spacer(that the factory element sits on) and put on a 14x3 or leave the spacer in and use a drop base filter. opinions? experiences? what should i do?....thanks

because hes a newbie, joke.

cuz hes asking a different question.

i say either one works, but hey read my other post and maybe think about trying what im gona do.

why settle for just three inches. get a non drop, and use two filters.

either way, its only a few horses, if that. maybe one.

I read the other post TAS but i just wanted opinions on what others did and if leaving the spacer in or taking it out had any advantages.
