k&n oil filter

Just a quick question.

Does anyone know if the k&n oil filter is supposed to be shorter than than its OEM equivalent?

Thanks

If it is it's probably 'cos there's more air flow, but they're a very snug fit around the top.

Just curious, I had one delivered today and it seemed short. Wanted to check that this was the norm.
