Like the design and 15 um filtering. Looks like good equipment!
Those videos are misleading and not useful,though, with the guy claiming they are "2 micron" and then screwing up describing the bypass operation.
Don't like having only one source to buy them, especially when they don't clearly list the price on the site. That outfit doesn't look like mail order is anything close to their primary business. I am leery of the customer service in those situations because in my experience with outfits like that, they do well will the face to face customers but the mail order customers are often "hind mammary," if you get my drift. They may be a fine biz but without a track record in mail order???? They don't even list that they sell them mail order that I could find, so do you have to call, or what?
"Leaky and bad filtering" is an overly broad and not particularly accurate statement about Magnefines. Yes, some have leaked and that's not good. The majority have not leaked. Also, what's "bad filtering?" It's great that there's a higher efficiency inline out there but the 30 um MF is a vast improvement over the pan filter, so describing it as "bad" is not particularly accurate. Plus, for many years, the MF was
the readily available alternative of this type. It served us well and deserves a bit more respect. And now they have an all-metal replacement.
You are way over thinking this, the only reason this guy is the only place in town is because he help design and test this for NTZ. They run from $28 to $22+ if you buy 5 or more. This filter media is the same that Ford F250-F450 used (NTZ media) before Ford did major cost cutting in 2009 and stopped using this filter when the economy dive bombed. You call them up and order them and 5 days later you have a better filter then a magnifine, case closed.
