I measured the oval filter's inside measurement (between the oval filter's inner walls) and searched K&N's web site for the "right sized" filter. I believe it was for a 09' GM mid-sized V6. After I received the filter I took the required measurement and had my machine shop cut the lid with an end mill to my specs. The filter goes in the lid with a slight interference fit.

On a side note... as I recall, the oval filter is a SD filter. It's about a 1/2" taller than K&N's 1 3/4" tall unit. On the chassis dyno the filtered setup made 7 more HP than no filter at all.
