If the NG won't fix....

If my Napa Gold does not fit in my intake-does that mean nothing Wix will fix? The rubber gasket is just too thick, as I could not even shove it in there... Back to Fram....as It seems to be the only one that fits...

Probably. OEM always fits and is quite often better/sturdier than Fram-STP or other aftermarket brands.

Darn...

Usually, the OEM air filters are plenty good. You pay a few buck more.

Stuck with Fram until I test more filters...

Maybe try a Hastings? For all I know they are built by Wix though...

What is the application ?

Nope. ClarCor is the parent of Hastings and Baldwin. Affinia (Raybestos, McQuay-Norris, and others) is the parent of WIX. They might contract some of their low volume production out to other filter makers, though.
