I'm not sure photos would help. I actually measured the airbox, stock paper filter, and the K&N filters. The K&N filters were slightly smaller and I could feel the difference once they were in the airbox as well. That said, it should be *fine* to use but I was not satisfied with the fit or quality. If you want to see a well made filter, look at the AEM or AFE panel filters. The AFE is a bit longer for some reason. I saw one test where the AEM barely flowed better than paper, probably because of its filtration.
If you want to see a filter that is worse than K&N, check out Green Filter. It's like the machine was completely drunk when it rolled the pleats, and the filtration media is worthless on the Green hence why it outflows everything else.
