So, pre-install inspection with the EaO that went on the RAM 1500, had all the louvers open, but I wasn't super impressed with how open they were. Also, it was a bit loose on the threads, but seems they aren't cut very deep, as I checked the other cans and they appear the same.
I went and checked my other three and one of them has a good chunk of the louvers that are basically closed near the upper part of the can:

These are made in Mexico, FWIW.
Went and checked one of my Fleetguard filters, and the louvers are WIDE open:
