This is a Wix? Do all the STs have combo valves?.... even the Ecores?

Adam... My wife's 03' Malibu is approaching 10K using a Supertech Ecore that's guaranteed for 10K. That GM has it's own head-installed bypass valve system. So should I avoid buying another one? Or are two bypasses better than one?
 
Some really thin pleats but did a nice job. I would run those for 5-7K with no worries.Thanks for posting.

Not all of them. The acdelco ones do but the supertechs and other variants use a combo valve.
