Doesn't matter with wire backed media.

Does to me & some others on this forum. Perhaps not to you though.
It only matters to the visual based "beauty pageant judges", lol. It has zero functional impact. With backed media it doesn't matter because there is no pleat movement and potential media tearing.
I expect more from Fram's premium filter, you don't. We should be able to express how we see poor filter quality w/o your derogatory name bashing on a regular basis when anyone says anything you don't agree with about Fram. Take your "Beauty Pageant" crap elsewhere!

Knock off the taunts or time-outs will be served.
I go by more than "looks" on oil filters, and many other things in life, where "looks" really don't matter to functionality and performance. If people want to put looks over function, then by all means go for it as everyone has their own "requirements". 
BTW ... I'd say the same thing about any branded filter with uneven pleat spacing if it was backed media ... that was the whole point of my comments. Pleat spacing doesn't matter when the pleats can't move around from the oil flow dP.

There's a reason why those PG filters are taking the spot light, even when naked those pleats are just as pretty as a fresh Japanese girl in school uniform. Oil filter porn is safe for work.I go by more than "looks" on oil filters, and many other things in life, where "looks" really don't matter to functionality and performance.

Cut the factory Kohler oil filter and thought I found a fuel filter inside
3614’s after that …
Awesome! Thank You
