I would think the after market cleaners would do a better job of filtering but can't imagine they are less restrictive than those old wire mesh ACs. 'Ram pipes' or 'air horns' OTOH may provide a more direct air flow but the gain may be very small.
Some use a foam ring that goes on over the stock ACs to give some additional filtering.

You're not really going to see performance gains with air filters on a TR3 like you would altering a stock airbox configuration on a newer vehicle designed to be quiet and restrict flow for longevity.
Also, I wouldn't really be too worried about longevity on a TR3. The engines can last 100K+ miles with the stock air filters, and let's face it -- most owners won't put one-fifth those miles in the time they own a TR3 these days. Heck, I think I have only 500 or 600 miles on mine in two years.

Do you know of a source for such a ring Geo?

I don't but I will ask the local club member who uses them. He's a pretty crafty guy so it is likely he makes his own. Pretty simple really, just a ring of foam about 2" wide and slightly smaller diameter than the AC metal filter. He streches it over the AC, then removes them for 'show'.
