Sorry for the delay, both are China. Pronto is sightly taller. Bottom of ACDelco

If anyone is interested.. Ordered a pronto one for the [censored] of it. Air filters seem to be OEM quality but that's a different post. Let me know if you need a other info. I couldn't find photos of the pronto online.
