That's not a K&N filter for one. Don't waste your time with something just because it "fits". Why not get an actual K&N RU-3530, proven to fit and work perfectly for the 2.5?

scottd60 runs the RU-3530 with the KKM, as far as I know. Fits very well.

RU-3530 can be had for like $33 from ajusa.com.

3 3/4 inches

The adaptor doesn't need to match exactly. The clamp will take care of the extra space.

Yeah, I almost bought someones used KKM setup a while back, and thought it maybe came with the RU-3530, turns out it didn't.

I ended up going with a BAT adaptor and the RU-3530.

I wouldn't tell them where I was getting it from, which was eBay, because if it did have the RU-3530, everyone would of jumped on it and I would of lost it. Didn't matter in the end anyways.
