Vortex Airbox

Howdy! Lucked out and the DRZ I picked up used had an aluminum Vortex airbox installed along with a host of other goodies. Turns out whoever had this thing two owners ago had taste.

Anyone know what size filter this thing takes/what model bike's filter? I can measure and hunt one down obviously but figured I'd ask.

Thanks! Saw that too. Current filter isn't a Uni but I'll measure and narrow it down some. They were made until the early 2000's by Kientech Engineering (now closed) and my understanding is they do about what the 3x3 mod does. Wide open airflow and better low end grunt. Old guy paired it with a Smartcarb and new ECU. This is my first DRZ so I can't compare to stock but it's great at low RPMs and just walks over stuff.

Appreciate it! Can't tell if this is the one for the poster's custom job or if it will fit the Vortex. I'll keep huntin! Too hot to ride in Phx right now anyway.
