80mm. Berk sells the Apexi filter that was the other Frankencar option. Slightly more expensive. Better design.

80 MM is the model number for the K&N one. I just wanted to order a regular K&N filter, I don't need the Apexi one. Too expensive LoL. Thanks!

No problem. I found myself researching the right filter size more than once, too.

As to expense, a penny saved is... well, it's just a penny. Meh.

OP, you can also opt for an AEM dryflow filter---no need to oil. I'm currently using part # 21-203DK on my frankencar SRI.

Yea go the AEM Dryflo way, the oiled filters tend to shed oil into the MAF and screw it up. Especially when new.

I gotta stir up the pot.. If you're smart enough not to drench the filter in oil, you'll be fine. My MAF lasted over 90k miles.

I didn't and I still found oil on the MAF. It hasn't blown out yet but I'm sure it's not good for it either.
