Double the price of an Ultra

Only one brother, me

Just asking, why would any of you run an XP instead of Ultra? Ultra always costs less at 8.99 retail, is 99%@20 microns, and has 20k capacity. Pressure drop when new is less than 2psi. Flow from a typical Ultra is more than 10gpm and our LS based race car only flows 5.7gpm at 7500rpm. XP- They...

Originally Posted By: Patman I previously thought the TG used a pure cellulose media and finding out that it's also a blended media like the NAPA Gold does change my opinion of them slightly, but I still have a hard time with those fiber end caps, I just don't think they'll provide the same...

XG and TG have an initial restriction of 1.5psi. Not sure what your issue was but is was not restriction

The racing use only is being removed from the box. They are very well suited for up to 6k OCI's on street cars. 94%@20 microns, far better than any racing filter on the market

We have been building Honda OE and OES filters for 27 years. Pretty sure we know what is right for those cars.

The HP17 does have a bypass. The HP6 flows 22gpm. That said, we have flow cover very well. We race a SIN supercar in the Pirelli world challenge, it uses a LS3 engine that flows 5.6 gpm at 7000rpm. Brian Deegans PRO2 off road race truck uses the HP6 and his 1000hp engine still only flows 11gpm...

Originally Posted By: goodtimes Why is it? The Ultra is supposed to be the best flowing, strongest, but for racing they don't choose it. Just a question, nothing more. Because Racing guys change oil before every race and will not pay for it. We use a blend of cellulose/synthetic glass that...

That model does nit have a adbv because the OE and OES filters do not have them.

It is selling quite well thank you. Wish we spent more advertising money on it.

I showed these pictures to our chief engineer. He feels that the filter was in bypass for some time to cause this. This will typically happen when switching from a low efficiency oil filter to a high efficiency filter. It is obvious there was high differential pressure once the filter was...
