Never seen one of them before.
Looks small but well made.
Thanks for the C&P

Who stepped on your filter? J/K

Looks well made and unique - good C&P, thanks.

Agree with you Zee. Reminds me of when I used to stomp on aluminum cans as a kid to be able to fit more of them into a 30 gallon trash bag to be recycled.

I was thinking of a small filter joke but then remembered that the recommended filter size for my Nissan VQ35DE appears to have a media capacity of a cotton ball.

^^^^^^^^^^^

Amen to that

Not too much difference in size.

Reminds me of this. Neat filter. Thanks for posting.

It reminds me of this nice looking specimen.

Zig-zagging like that should help prevent tearing.
Every filter should do that, but its more expensive to make, so no dice.

Always liked that design. Compact, sturdy and effective.

Crazy looking...but cool to see something new. Thanks for the C&P

I always love seeing the C&Ps for these Purflux filters.. just because the design is so wild and cool. As oil_film mentioned, I suspect that the zig-zag pattern of the media helps prevent deformation and thus reduce or eliminate tearing and other waviness. Very cool design.

I think that may very well be the tiniest filter I've seen from a car.
