Yep, that seems too big for a GenIII (and probably even a GenII) to
me, given that the filter itself is 4" so the can is probably pushing
5?
You could make your own though, and for a whole lot cheaper. You
just need a factory style air can (like what the GenI and GenII came
with stock, though you may need something with a smaller diameter to clear
the firewall on a GenIII). Stick a K&N drop-in in the can, cut a hole
on the opposite side side and rivet, bolt or weld a flange to match
the stock one so you can hook a hose to it. You can now have a hose
on each side running down to the grill or air dam area to pick up that
nice cool air.
