Default Yikes, did I order wrong filter?

Upgrading pipes and adding PCIII, I ordered a Ness Big Sucker, but after reading more, I think I should have gotten the BIg SuckerII sinc eit allows 20% more. Do I need to undo and reorder guys?

More air/more fuel, it only takes in what it needs in relation to your AFR. You would be fine with either.

Stock filter/backplate is designed for EPA requirements, restricting intake, limiting power.... therefore lowering emissions. Open up your intake and exhaust flow and feel the difference!
