Question Heavy Breather alternative filter

Hey, got my hands on half of the stuff for the heavy breather. Not interested in purchasing the 90 bend and the filter. Is there a round filter out there that would fit the heavy breather backing plate? Looks like the OD of the backing plate is 4-1/2" and the smallest K&N filter is 5-1/2". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The filter for the heavy breather is a K&N unit if i'm not mistaken.

IIRC there's a forum sponsor that makes a round filter to fit the Heavy Breather backing plate... I just forget the name. It's a pretty cool filter, with filter media on the face as well as the circumference.

Oh man that's just what I'm talking about. I spent all last evening searching here for past threads until my eyes went cross. Thanks much. Much easier searching sponsers.
