"cold air intake" piping size

Uh, a 12.6x3" filter has 118 square inches of surface area, so, quite a bit more than a 14x2.

The Mopar Performance air cleaner is only 12 3/4" x 2.75", so, 110 square inches of surface area.

And I run mine with a 13x2.3" filter for hood clearance. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/knn-e-2865

Seems to work just fine with my 400+ hp 340. I didn't notice any difference at all going from the original MP filter down to the 13x2.3, and that's a change from 110 sq. inches to 94.
