Wow! For that much, I would want that in my engine compartment where it could be seen and appreciated.

It IS lifetime and cleanable though....

I am performance oriented; as long it works and does it'* job, I could care less about location.

OK, I'll bite. Other than the fact that it'* billet aluminum and cleanable for lifetime use, what'* the performance advantage?

By the time you get a setup to work in our cars it will cost you almost $150. How much performance are you going to get out of a filter? The most it will do is raise fuel pressure and how is that going to help unless your injectors are going static?

Set up? It is a direct replacement to the OEM. If you had an idea of the impurities that get in your fuel system everytime you pump gas, you would reconsider. I like the advantage that I can clean it and also drain any water from the system. Also, the filtering media is superior than the OEM/replacement fuel filters, which means, the injectors will reamain cleaner for a longer time.

All this time I have been refering to Part Number 7241; it reads as follows:
Pure Power! EHP® Inline Fuel Filters (GM)
Item ID: 7241
Pure Power! Lifetime EHP® Fuel Filters are CLEANABLE and REUSABLE designed to fit 1995 and newer GM vehicles. Engineered to protect fuel systems from debris and contaminants that are inherent in fuel. These impurities can plug fuel injectors or carburetors causing engine problems and repair expenses. Filter is 4 Inches Long, with 12mm In, 12mm Out.

I don't see any data on it.
What is the flow rate, pressure drop, and what micron filtering?
What are the numbers for stock?
