Wix 1734 XE

[tjbeggs]

What is your opinion on the Wix XE line? Specifically the 1734XE used on the Ford Powerstroke 7.3/Navistar T444E. I have been using the standard 1734 with a frantz filter but the single frantz just has to be changed too often to keep up with the 15 quart system so I put on a Amsoil EABP100 bypass with this change.

Any experience, insight or specs you guys could offer would be great!

Alright then. I will let you guys know how it all works out. I hope good! And I hope its not money wasted over the standard 1734.

The XE and XD filters are upgrades to already impressive filters. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

tj, you got buried in the bypass valve slugfest

I don't know anything about it. It's got a great rating over the regular 51734. Impressive flow potential Same multipass spec's at a higher efficiency. (betax=75 instead of 20)
