That seems understandable, at least to me.
As for the topic, haven't used an orange can in quite some time, longer than I can remember. And with Puro Classics currently $3.27 at Wally for all applications, I can't really justify paying the same or more(for 7317 app) for an orange can. Also with the current AAP deal with online codes on P1, making them $3-4, tough to pass on that deal.
The Fram Ultra is a solid is a well made filter and if one runs extended oci's or for two oci's also a reasonable value at ~$9. The Tough Guard is decent filter with an excellent efficiency rating and silicone adbv, at ~$6 everyday at Wally a direct competitor with the P1. Then it's a matter of construction preference.
Yes, Can we have like a new wave of filters to talk about?
I shall change my name to GumbyGuy, and have "ROFL OMG LOL ROFL BBQ! BALDWIN FILTERS ROFL YEAH!" as my first thread.
