I don't understand Fram's logic in the construction of their Tough Guard line. You'd think that they would use the better metal endcaps of the Extended Guard filter, as those cheesy cardboard endcaps don't scream the word TOUGH in my book!

I didn't cut the top off. I cut it from the bottom (near the base plate)

I've used the TG before and cut it open and it didn't anything like the OP's Extra Guard. That's one ugly filter, especially considering the OCI.
Thanks for posting pics.
I bought two tough guards for her car, I hope they hold up better than this. I'll probably end up using the SuperTechs I already had before I use the Tough Guards, in hopes that I can find something else on sale to replace the Tough Guards with before they have to go on

Does it matter where you open an unused filter? It's not like I was worried about chips contaminating the media.

So I was in a restaurant and there is a Partsource near by so I stopped in and they have the XG filters, but my local PS doesn't. Not that I would use Fram for the price, but it doesn't make sense to me why the stores near me have it, but the next major city over does?
