I suspect Bernica's issue is the same as mine....my 9" K&N X-Stream FilterCharger assembly sits very nicely up within the hood scoop on my Cobra, a 14" would be too wide to fit between the walls of the hood scoop.
Like you, Bernica, I looked high and low for a dropped filter base before I posted here on CC and on the Mustang forum....no 9" drop bases could I find!
