Stick with the VR Green Perf. Filter. If you need a replacement I can get you one for $50 shipped.

The others don't fit without modification.

Ya, do't believe the story you need the new style upper housing if you've got the old design. I ended up sticking the filter in the old style housing and using some black RTV to seal it in there. Their new housing with it's new foam gasket did not seal to the filter and didn't fit on the car as well either.
