I did the same; got a "generic" chrome open air cleaner housing with
crankcase breather and a 14x3 K&N filter, plus the bolt. Maybe $50 total.
The same speed shop wanted $95 or so for the K&N kit; the difference being a
K&N logo stamped into the top. Oh, wow. Note that you need a housing with a
recessed bottom to fit a 3" element under the hood. And yes, I love the
sound of that deep breathing V8 now! (I get 15 mpg in the city - my foot is
pretty heavy, too)
