Here are some picks of the Wix filter I cut open that I said the louvers were not open.
My first questions is "are the louvers suppose to be open on both sides or top and bottom"? Of all the filters I've seen posted you can see the louvers are open when you look at the center tube thru the base plate hole.
The first couple pics are the top view or the view when looking thru the base plate hole, you can see very few are even a little open.
This pic is with the tube flipped, as you can see they are all open but some don't look good.
I suppose if installed it wouldn't be a total disaster but unless you tear it apart how do know!
