What 14x3 do you have on your 5.9/How do I make a drop base fit?

[Lethalweapon100]

This is the 2nd time I've bought one that doesn't fit and I'm getting kinda pissed. First ones mouth was too small and this one has a drop base and it doesn't fit. I don't feel like sending this one back to amazon if i dont have to. Does anyone have an exact link to a 14x3 air filter that will fit, OR a way to make this drop base work on mine? Of course they don't make 5" PVC pipe so im S.O.L. there.

You need a spacer to make a drop base work.

You need a spacer to make a drop base work.

Any ideas on how to make one?

Edit: found some online. Might go to the hardware store tonight and try and make one myself. Ain't gonna pay $25 for a 2" piece of pipe.

Edit2: so im thinking im going to get a 5" diamater pipe cap because 5" PVC doesn't exist. Ill get the cap and cut one end off and shave down the innards a bit and make it work. Or, find a 5" piece of metal pipe and flare it a little bit and make it fit. But i can't seem to find any 5" diam. Pipe.

Edit3: Exhaust pipe! Why didn't i think of it before? Ill just get some 5" pipe flared a little bit and make er work.

Edit4: i am pleased to announce that Jegs and some other companies make air cleaner spacers. $6.
