You are seriously amazing, did all of this since that post this morning?!

Much appreciated.

How stout is that black glue/potting material around the center tube ends? Can it be chipped off easily or not?

 

[panthermike]

What are your overall thoughts? Is this a PG product? Still getting myself up to speed on identification of the current better filters.

How much did you pay for that sucker? Looks like a old Wix xp or Napa Platinum

Black glue will not come off. I tried with a pick.

It’s a stout filter. Not happy there’s no efficiency stated and don’t like the price. Not 100% sure if it’s PG. No “leak tested” on dome and a tad sloppy(still great) compared to the normal PG builds.

Great looking media and screen backing! I’d run it for 20k. Thanks for the work posting it!

Not happy there’s no efficiency stated ...

It's not even on AAP's website yet. When it shows up there will probably be efficiency rating info like they show for the Carquest Premium filters. It would have to be some crazy good media to be 99% @ 20u and also go 20K miles. It doesn't look real thick in the photos. Not holding my breath.

pretty sure that is from the PG contracted VAFI factory because it has that 8748 that is on every other one out of the same location.

No bypass leakage!

Awesome info! Thanks

I don’t even want to know how much it will cost when it comes to Canada I am not really confident that it’s efficiency will be better, much like the Wix XP has never been as efficient as the regular version.

Probably cheaper than the US equivalent price, like those Carquest Premiums up there.

I like what I see, but, no efficiency rating makes me worry a bit.

They did raise the price a couple of bucks, last one I bought was $10.56 ($7.68 US)

Thanks for C&P.

I like this construction. The holes and coil spring reminds me of the old Wix construction, back when it was made by people that cared.
