I like those premium guards, always look good. Not to derail the Ops thread but.. Is this an OG titanium with the old ultra media? Was at AAP today and picked one up. The louvers make it a little hard to tell but I’m pretty sure there are wires. They had a few more and might grab them. FS7317...

Seems you are right, the protrusions that hold the valve spring assembly will not create a seat on the vertical portion so the ripples, and non-flat surface affect the seal. Had a spare one that I had planned on using but obviously with this thread I don’t feel so confident anymore so just cut...

Here’s the date code. And one other picture.

Here’s a used sample fe7317 from my accord. I will note the bypass assembly did seem firmly seated in the bottom of the filter and didn’t just fall out. I’m wondering if the ripples matter and the sealing is supposed to occur on the vertical portions where it inserts into the end plate.
