Newb Oil Filter Question

Not sure about Doug’s or TTI if you can get a long filter on there without the adapter.

I don’t get the hate for the adapter. They seal FAR better, they allow a long filter. In fact I used to use a Baldwin filter that was longer by I think an inch or a bit more and had less than a 2 psi pressure drop across it at 7,000 rpm. I don’t think that Baldwin filter will fit any header without the right angle adapter.

There's no need, or benefit, of running a filter longer than the ones I've posted. Filter technology is much better now than when these cars were made. How many of these cars made it to 100k miles on the factory engine? Not that many. How many can now go double that? Most of them. Some of that is better machining and components, but oil and filter technology is part of that too. You don't need a gigantic oil filter like what came on the factory cars from the 60's and 70's, there are plenty of modern cars with MUCH smaller filters than the ones I've posted for this one. Hell Toyota filters are tiny, and those cars go hundreds of thousands of miles with no issues. If the small oil filters were that detrimental they couldn't do that.

And I don't hate the adaptor, but depending on the headers you're running there's really no need for it either. It's just another interface to leak. There's certainly no reason to run one if you don't need it to clear your exhaust.
