Does NOT fit 2000 9-3

Based on previous Saabnet posts about K&N for a 1999 9-3, I bought one of these NM33-2663 K&N filters for my 2000 base 9-3, assuming they would be the same. Unfortunately, this filter definitely does not fit. Apparently, Saab changed the air box from 1999 to 2000. The 2000 air box is about an inch longer and half an inch wider than this K&N filter, so there is no way to get the filter to seat or seal. Too bad. On the other hand, the larger air box presumably means that the 2000 stock filter can pass more air than was the case in 1999.
If anyone knows of a specific K&N filter that has been successfully installed in a 2000 base 9-3, I'd love to know about it.
