I have my stock intake with the f-sport filter sitting in a box, so I took it out to check and yeah pretty much similar gap you are seeing.
I also took out the f-sport filter element and just tried closing the stock box without a filter and yeah pretty similar gap still - perhaps a minuscule amount less gap, but yeah in other words I believe it's just the structure of the stock intake box, and you have a perfectly normal setup.
I talked to the people over at L parts world and they said the F Sport Filter is a little bit bigger than the normal filter. They mentioned the F Sport cover is a little bit larger to accommodate the difference in filter size.
Is this valid or was the individual trying to sell me on getting the whole kit?
can anyone post video sound of "Drop in Air filter" using stock intake box and tube ? do they make bigger sound than stock air filter ? i like to have that sound like whole intake kits but i'm lazy to do the installation, i just wanna drop in just the K&N or Fsport air filter not sure if they gives good noise like the full kit.
Is the f sport filter washable/reusable like k&n? Have a 16 350 awd non f, thinking to get the f sport filter or the KN? Can anyone tell what the real difference between the 2?

I purchased the FSport filter and dropped it into my stock airbox. I did have a little gap issue others have stated and shown. As long as you can get the clips on and in place you'll be fine. I even went a step further and cut out a hole like the FSport box has in the lower front to get that extra air. Also I purchased an HPS intake tube from eBay. What I like about the HPS intake is it allows you to still install the sound resonator that the sock intake tube has. I am on my 1st full tank of gas with this setup, so I can't report any mpg differences yet. So I have the stock airbox with the FSport filter and HPS intake. Saved about $100 doing this vs buying a full FSport intake.

so i can just swap the tube w/ the stock one? i have 16 350 awd non f. or does it have to be the f sport trim?
How do you like it? Any noticeable increase in power? Any change to the way it sounds?
