A few weeks back, I was stumbling around Ebay looking at filters for my Frontier and came across this IAP IC-106CS filter that was advertised for $1.88 shipped and peaked my interest because shipping would have to be more than the cost of the filter and wanted to see what one could get.

Arrived out within the week by USPS First Class out of California and below is pictures of the filter before and after being cut open. Observations show it to have a prelubed gasket under the cellophane covering. The bypass valve is of a weird design I have never seen before and is some kind of metallic poppet plate design. Media was tight with about 60 pleats and measure apporx. 250 sq in of media. Center tube was much like a E-Core but with a two piece plastic ring design. Media had a fiber end cap but was resin impregnated and could not be peeled off by hand. ADBV is nitrle and was very supple but also on the thin side.
