Default bolt on K&N filter?

Does anyone know the air box inlet outer diameter? Has anyone just taken the air box out and placed a K&N universial filter on?

Zeusoftexas - I assume you are in Texas? What year is your car? I had this on my '99 that you can have if you are near Dallas:

For the first few months on my '02. I used an old conical filter I had laying around. Worked great and was cheap: free!

Thanks for the offer but I'm in Houston. I found one on the net for 40 bucks. Are the rest of you very unsatisfied with the stock air box as I am. Everytime I open the hood the latches are off? I just looped a strap around it to keep it shut! looks like H@#$!

I think a good many of us are disappointed with the stock air box and many have replaced it with an aftermarket unit or modified the stocker. I had the same strap problem on my '99. The first thing I did to my '04 was pull off the stock box... Glad you found what you needed!

Does 97-00 C5 take the same diameter K&N filter as the 01-04? I know that a blackwing filter requires an adapter for the 01-04 C5.
