I see no reason why you couldn't use an aftermarket fuel filter.
Rock Auto:
WIX Part # 33221 $14.83
BECK/ARNLEY Part # 0430889 $16.91
FRAM Part # G6442 $17.15
ACDELCO Part # GF668 $21.79
BOSCH Part # 71593 **Non-stock item--shipping delayed up to 7 business days** $20.79

On a stock or lightly modded TII or nearly any NA, you can just use almost any generic EFI fuel filter. I will either use the Mazda filter, or I will buy a generic filter for a late model Corvette. The Mazda filter is only about $30 from the dealer anyway so you might as well just use it.

The price I quoted above was from a Mazda dealer...thanks for the info. Just wanted to make sure before I went out and got a generic filter.

Should this information go in my list of interchangable parts?

My only concern with the stock filter is that it won't handle the flow if it gets a little clogged (ie. tank of questionable gas). The aftermarket filters obviously have bigger elements...Though clearly if you are making 490HP on a stocker it will handle it assuming it's clean.

Hate to rebuild a motor over a $20 fuel filter that clogged...

that's why i said check with a performance source for high flow FI filters, the elements should be cheaper than a stock filter and they would be able to flow more with less risk of blowing out the filter element. you can only flow so much before the element will try to force its way out of the filter.

thanks for all of the info guys...I ended up buying one from Auto Zone for $25 and it uses the stock fuel filter's bracket. Anyway, my car was running lean and I do believe changing the filter resolved my problem. I took the fuel lines off the filter and you should've seen the gunk that came out of that old filter, it looked like a yellow clam chowder mix. the car starts better and seems to be more responsive on the throttle...plus my exhaust doesn't glow red anymore.
