Yeah it looks good.

Thanks for the C&P.

Media looks find of fuzzy doesn't it? Doesn't make it appear to be high quality.

How are the louvers? Thanks for C/P.

Being a PPV too she was probably ran pretty hard. Not bad even factoring that in.

not a PPV for us anymore. just a retired PPV. i’m excited to see what the R&P+EC30 combo can do. i would imagine it was idled half of its life

That soft and fuzzy spray on media
Too magical to touch
To see her in that C&P
Is really just too much

My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My filter is the C&P centerfold
Filter is the C&P centerfold

So is this filter really any better then the Ultra?

Same guts, different can.

 

[ZeeOSix]

I can't make out the date code ... looks like "A3", a 2023 build. Probably why it still has holes and not louvers.

No…

Its Advance Autoparts retail branding of the Fram Ultra. At a quite huge markup compared to walmart. Endurance is the closest youll get to the old fram ultra which was highly regarded here before the media change.

Its now a synthetic meltblown spray over on a cellulose blend backing. If you want my 2 cents its an upgraded Tough Guard with slightly more pleats and a metal seam crimp and endcaps. It doesn't look special to the former wire backed pink media one. I cut one open a few months ago, it did its job, just another run of the mil looking filter now, for under 10 dollars its not a bad option, just not what it once was.

was thinking it was a spray over - here is the new one I boiled in water and that stuff has clumped …
also found it very easy to tear unlike when M1 had a tough blended media
