I have a 2000 vert and the MAF sensor has a 3.5" OD. So, I would say that your 99 would be the same. In other words the RC-5040 would be the correct filter.

I used a 1040 on my 97, but I did have to make a shim out of a 3.5" hose. Had it on for about 3000 miles with no problems. you will need to cut a hole for the vent tube. Looks really good when you are done. Make sure your hood seal is in good order, if not water will leak down on the filter.
