Anyone using aftermarket fuel filters?
So I was wondering if anyone would recommend using an aftermarket filter like these.
Aeromotive, for use with AN fittings. http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...50079_-1_10293 I'm using rubber lines (for now), so they even offer some with barbed fittings. http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...47647_-1_10293 In my opinion, it makes it easier next time the fuel filter needs to be replaced. Just unscrew the housing and slap in a new filter. The replacement filters are cheaper than dirt too. |
Whats wrong with a stock replacemant one? A wix fuel filter for our cars is only around $15.

im using the aeromotive unit

I guess in the long run price could be a little cheaper.
I was mainly interested in getting an aftermarket filter due to the serviceability, and possibly better filtration than a stock unit. |
the aereo automotive filter is very nice I have used them in the past (not on a 7) however in most cases the stock filter is plenty enough...
goood luck on your purchase if u go aftermarket shoot some pics. |
I guess it depends on application (racing/street), and how ANAL RETENDENT you are if you just want to spend the buck for better filtration.. :0)
|
FYI
Some of the filters on the Jegs site aren't rated for high pressure fuel injection. |

I just got off the phone with O'Reillys to make sure, for a Wix fuel filter it is $16.35.
