CLEAN. Thanks for the C&P!
Louvers look good, filter element fine, and apparently no issues (tears) noted which is good. On the minus side, looks like some cuts/indentations on the adbv. Mann&Hummel has screwed up the adbv baseplate contact seal area design on 'some' of these newer Puro applications and still hasn't corrected it based on anecdotes like this.
Likely not much of a functional issue, perhaps a start up rattle at worst. Still it needs to be redesigned in applications like this. Either smooth the inner inlet holes and/or make it so that the adbv does not take the direct pressure of the leaf/flat compression spring on the inlet holes. My .02

Definitely looks a "Mighty" lot like a jobber Purolator, looks just like the Quaker State & PB ProLines I've used. It did the job, but the pleats by the seam could look a little better. Car 51, how was the ADBV function? That's the issue I generally have with the low end Puros-and they definitely haven't fixed the burrs on the inside of the baseplate yet!

Yeah, few slices in ADBV and ADBV kinda stiff
Definitely looks like a Puro clone.. without any tears, which is nice.
Overall looks pretty clean. Engine must have been in good shape.
