Sure looks like standard air box and filter.
The filter no. is embossed on the rubber housing.
Check the actual dimensions of your filter to the KN specs. The filters shrink dramatically over time and get loose in the FAB. Poor sealing and FAB wear result. These filters in our service environment are definitely not “lifetime” filters.

Thanks! Will do. Ricky
 
Looks like the standard K&N set up I have in mine. The earlier versions like yours and what I have keep the filter suspended above the airbox bottom surface. I think newer ones "sandwich" the filter against a plate bonded to the airbox. My original filter hasn't shown any sign of shrinking, but I've heard of that happening. I dont have a handy picture close up.

Thanks for the info. What a clean setup have. How much time do you have on your eng/airframe?
 
In case you're looking for a model number, mine fit a K&N E-3322 without having to be modified.
