open air element part # pleaseee

I want an open air element but was told I need a specific one, anyone know which one? Or even a generic advanced one. Also, is there an open element one that will use my stock air filter since i have a k&n filter for it

Any basic element will work like this one. What you need to decide is if you want a flat base or drop base. This one is a drop base and may require a half inch spacer to raise it off of the linkage. The reason people use a drop base is so they can use a taller filter with the stock hood.
