It worked after some cutting. ..
I installed the E-3322, but I still had to do some cutting. Not as bad as the other filter though and I didn't need rtv to seal it.
It was a worthwhile change, but I'm going to probably remake the plate next time so I have more flexibility in shaping the filter.
I haven't noticed any degradation of performance due to the thinner filter. I read several years ago someone tried no filter and had a measurable drop in performance.
