The Wix is built pretty good, but it doesn't have the 2-ply synthetic media and tough wire-backing for integrity the Fram Ultra has. The Wix (aka NAPA Gold) is OK to get, no doubt, but it also doesn't have the filtering ability the Fram Ultra has. Flow rate is not a problem. In fact, the Ultra can hold more gunk than a Wix and still keep flowing.
