I've seen those....they are of horrid quality. Pretty much the only decent "store brand" one I have seen is the NAPA GOLD filter....it is very much like a Baldwin, with a pleated paper upper section as well as the full flow section. I have one in my 617 right now....costs nearly as much as a dealer filter though....in bulk the Baldwin's are only about $12.50 each.
