There may be another way...K&N has a feature on their website that allows you to search by dimension...14"D by "X" height....that sort of thing. I went from a 3" tall 9" diameter filter to a 2 1/4" 9" diameter filter in order to get to use the nicely radiused K&N air-cleaner base (which positions the filter in a raised fashion at exactly the correct height to fit right up into my hood scoop)...and used the X-Stream 9" filter top.
I second the idea of putty to check clearance...went to the children's toy section in WalMart and just bought a package of different colored clay "sticks". The "lumps on top of the air cleaner and close the hood" system worked perfectly (I covered the lumps of clay with waxed paper so that the clay lumps would not stick to the underside of my hood)!
The combination of the dropped 14" base with either a stock or a a taller than stock 14" K&N filter and the X-Stream filter top might be the ultimate combo, since you don't have a scoop. My local O'Reilley's sells the K&N 14" X-Stream filter assembly...not inexpensive, but if it works, it's worth it, right?
Cheers!
