There's a good thread on the aaca forum. Skip to page 2/3 where Ed shows a generic 16" x 3" from Amazon.
It fits well, it just doesn't have the top lip to fill the gap on the lid.

It's presently avail from Amazon and Summit.

The K&N E-1910 was discontinued in 2021. So the Allstar appears to be the only choice at this time.
There was mention CARS is trying to find a manufacturer for repos.
