FYI, the SuperTech ST7317 is not an Ecore design. It is a decent looking filter built by Champ Labs with a metal center tube and end caps, though it does have the dome end bypass you don't want. Also, in Fram you can go for the Extended Guard XG3593A, which is a really rugged filter that they say is good for 10,000 miles using synthetic oil. Extended Guards are good looking filters and the only Frams I would consider. There's also the Mobil 1 M1-110, which looks to be a well-built filter. The nice thing about SuperTech, Mobil 1, and Fram is that you can pick them up at WalMart.
