it might work... if it dosen't match the diameter, you could always get an adapter for it from a hardware store.

but as far as how big the drop in is. will it fit up in that space?

Hmmm... it might be a tight fit. I'd say it might work as far as fitting in the fender well.

It will fit fine. The filter I was using was quite a bit larger than the stock one. K&N drop-in should be identical size to the stock filter. You'll just have to loosen the inner fender well lining, and slide it up from underneath. The 2.5" ID should also fit fine (I know -- as I have experience with this CAI:) ) I never had to completely remove the fender well lining, or tire/wheel when I added/removed it.
Do you still have the huge air silencer box in the fender? This was really tight, but I still was able to get it out w/o removing the wheel/tire.

it actually fit perfectly... no problems at all with the installation.
