I never knew those had metal end caps, sucks Carquest moved to Tearolator production now. The OCOD on my 7.3 has metal end caps, not sure if that's just a thing for their heavy duty filters or what? Also has louvers which most Frams don't have, but, unlike some manufacturers that like to leave them closed or hardly open, the louvers on my filter are very wide open.
