91 XJS air filters
I ordered XJS air filters from Auto Zone (STP brand). As I started to remove the old ones and install the new ones, I discovered the old ones had the metal plate toward the rear to allign with the throttle air intake opening, but the new ones had a metal plate slightly forward toward the center with 2 openings on the back side, with the rear opening in front of the throttle air intake. Reading other forum comments, I understand the metal plate is intentionally designed to be aligned withe the throttle air intake. So, I intend to return these and order the correct parts elsewhere, my question is, did Jaguar have different designs/construction of the air filters for different model years, based on different position of the throttle air intake opening? Are the filters with 2 openings intended for specific model years or
is this design just wrong?

There are 2 different types of air filter elements for 5.3L. Cars with ABS had the air box moved forward so the TB is at the very rear of the air box.
I replaced mine with K&N which are washable, as I live in a rural area with lots of dirt roads I can wash them every time I service the car.
