MK - Does the TG have thicker end caps than the EG? I also see the OEM Honda filters made by Honeywell that have fiber end caps, and they look noticeably thicker than the end caps in the FRAMs.
Just seems the thicker fiber end caps stay more ridged and flatter than the thin ones, which is good IMO.
Z06, it does seem that way.
Only metal end cap filters for my engine.
I like metal end caps too. BUT, if the fiber end caps are thick enough to where they stay nice and flat and ridged like a metal end cap, then I see no issue. It is true that the media glues better to the fiber end caps.
