Yep, pretty new build. OP, does it have a center tube with holes or slits? If it has slits, then it might also have the updated media.
What evidence do we have that Purolator has thickened or updated media now?
Statements from Puro? Is it just your observations?

Puro ONE did have one marketing statement from Purolator on their website, as I pointed out in a previous discussion here:

New marketing slogan from Puro: "We maybe don't fall apart anymore!" confidence builder
I was hoping for some info on whether the new version is thicker on the Purolator ONE. Also, nothing known on the Purolator Classic changes?

I don't think any of us have ever worried about end caps and center tubes wearing out, and if anyone were concerned about such a thing, he'd be on BITOG.

You know it's a slam against Fram's cardboard end caps, and E-core's plastic (fragile??) center tubes, thats all. I actually prefer metal stuff in there myself, although if the cardboard/plastic parts are thick enough, they should be fine too.

It gets autocrossed(this had 3 events on it) and driven ~100mi daily all highway.
It sees 4500+ RPM regularly when merging and redline when autocrossing of course.
It's a PureOne filter. There was no tearing, and the media was not easy to tear or separate at all.
It was replaced with a Fram TG7317 which is taller than the 6607 that cross references with the PL14610 I cut open.
Very nice cut & post.
This the the only real way to see if Purolator has really solved the issues with the filters they make.
The first filter I cut was a Motorcraft FL-820S and it had a tear.
I have cut 2 more since then with short OCI to clean up an engine. Both have collapsing filter media near the splice.
Thanks again.

I prefer all metal, too, but I don't need a bizarre statement to justify it.
