Here's the AFE filter I'm using. I chose the 24-91016 with a 3.5" ID mounting, 6" base, 5.5" top, and is 5" tall.
I just realized that your filter has a 3.5" ID opening and your coupling gradually steps it down to 3". That was a great idea. You might be able to sell some of these couplings along with the other one you made to people that want to take that route. I am still happy how mine came out but it was a lot of work cutting and sanding the fins off the side of the airbox. Your airbox coupling just requires the 3" hole.
