Just as fyi, specific topic application never used a silicone adbv, so at least that part is no change. As noted in other thread, for this application Wix lists more OPE and powersports applications than vehicles (Nissan/Infiniti). On the plus side, since there's no Wix thread end bypass or spacer used in previous Wix made 5/1358 with c&ps posted, element 'appears' at least twice the size of previous. Louvers look fine to me. Of course, proof is in post use pics.

Thanks for pics.

Thank You for the info sir. You’re welcome for the photos also 🍺🇺🇸🇨🇦
 
Puro construction, wide pleat spacing by a metal crimp... I can guess what would happen in winter usage with thick oil, tearing will be a definite possibility. With the demise of the Wix/NAPA Gold & the Ultra, looks like it'll be Fram Extra Guards, Champ/Fram Ecores, and Premium Guards for 5000-7500 miles in the future for me! (Or fork over $13 or more for RP or better)
