The K&N is not as thick as OEM filter. As for more room..
there are screws at each corner of the airbox that when all are removed will provide more room to work with. Disconnecting the hoses on the top of the box will help as well. It is possible to swap without removing everything, but it will be tight.

Those screws only secure the heatshield. Once you...
undo the screws at each corner, you should be set. As for the filter itself, I have tried the K&N but am not using it now.
