The OP could note if the inner part feels particularly sharp? How do the louvers look?
The ONE is pretty sharp. The slots look fine.

Since someone saw fit to muddy the waters ( And I do not appreciate the re-posting/cross posting of my pictures ) as I said in the other thread this filter is sharper than the other one. Curiously the tapping plate design is different between the two filters, but both seal toward the threads and on the raised ring outside the inlet hole on this particular part number.
So I do not believe that this part number could pierce the ADBV, though it could be cut or abraded in use.
I have coming in a Boss in the Toyota number, same design. Good eye to see the difference in the baseplates. They made the Boss more convex on the inside, and it looks like the adbv height was shortened a little to compensate. Can you verify the height? Does the valve squish down on the outer edge for sealing? It will be a couple years before I finish running the Boss before I could check myself. I don't see any significant burs on the holes that contact the rubber valve. The burs down inside of the holes, from the outer baseplate being pressed into the holes, are rougher than a cob, but those don't touch anything. This design the adbv stays away from the holes pretty good, as was pointed out already. What is seen though is they haven't got their pleat spacing issue corrected, but they do claim they reworked the media on the One, effectively admitting they did have a problem before.
