Here's an old microguard filter off a 2.4l Grand Am. The car wasn't exactly maintained (the filter was on there long enough that the can was getting rusty):
The fiber end caps stayed intact, and there weren't any tears in the wavy media:
Obviously I'm not saying anyone should treat their cars this way, I was just kinda surprised this stupid filter held together.
