My local store had one filter in stock.....$15! I bought it anyways....since its only $3 more than a Fram....whatever. Anyways, here are some pics.....its a full pleated filter.....think this has better or worse filtration than a normal style one? It appears that the whole thing becomes a full flow filter....this makes me question how effective it is at the "Soot removal bypass" section....which is not present. I may return it and go get Frams.....I'm leery about having no bypass section to collect the soot.









Lets hear some opinions on the lack of a slow-flow bypass section. Baldwin filters are designed like this too.
