Is there an air filter that will fit a stock 1jz box? 7m is too small. I tried it didn't fit.

It's not though, different part number.
Does the 7M one actually fit in there? I don't think so, but not 100% sure. I'd like to know.

Time for an intake... 
My clip came with an M's intake which ironically uses a K&N filter (the top of the filter has both the K&N logo and the M's logo). Go figure.

The 1jz box is slightly larger. You can put a 7mgte k&n insert in there, but it won't seal properly, sitting loose.
Someone posted about a year ago, using a Lexus filter, that was the proper size. It just need slight trimming.
Otherwise, to use the 7m K&N insert, you need some type of material to take up the extra space like foam or a rubber seal. I had one in mine for a few months, but I don't recall what I used.
I liked using the airbox because it would only breathe cool air, instead of sucking in in all the hot engine bay air.
