Purolator air filter for stock airbox doesnt fit correctly

So I went to put my airbox in today and when I go to put the filter in and it doesn't completely fill the air box like I would think its should.

I'm probably just going to shell out the cash for a k&n stock filter unless there are other good performing air fiters made for the stock air box that fit snugly.

I have an older Purolator air filter, still in its box, #A44358. I use it for a day or so every year when I take my K&N out for cleaning and re-oiling. It fits the stock airbox perfectly. Is this the number on the filter you have?

Here's a solution to your conundrum. Return the incorrect item at the store you purchased it at. Then locate and purchase the Correct Filter for your application.

I didn't know Racing Beat made an air filter for the stock FC airbox. I can't find it on their site; they only seem to list the K&N filter.

Wow, that's strange. I guess they were on sale because they stopped making them?

Its a foam like filter that you can reuse and oil. Nice piece and said racing beat on it. Glad I have one though!
