Never heard of them. Not on Wix's website either.

Nevermind I found them.

There a pretty cool filter huh?

Yes. Too bad there aren't any for my application.

bottom line in filters its better to have a filter that flows better than to have a filter that filters better and restricts oil flow, period!
dirty oil lubricated much better than no oil

If you're worried about $4000 injectors, then install a bypass oil filter. I doubt that differences among the full-flows would improve anything. Try the Pureone filter.

Usually when the oil filter doesn't have a bypass, its in the filter mount or engine block. This means that your application doesn't need a filter with a built-in bypass.

You'll never have a restriction or flow limitations because if you do the pressure by pass will open thats what it's there for, it's purpose.
