But long story short it basically imploded the inside of the filter and crushed it like a soda can. But i've never seen or heard any problems about the HP filters. Used them for years and know hundreds of people that use them.
For me it was my 94 Silverado bone stock motor less than 100,000 ( I think it was around 85k) miles and the filter collasped. I was drving home from Atlanta but was only a few miles from my shop (where I worked) when it happened. The motor would still run, but it knocked pretty bad when you started it or put a load on it. I did call fram, they wanted the filter back, but I sold the truck and never sent the filter to them. I wish I would have.
The HP filters may be good. I've never cut one open, but I'm not gonna buy anything from Fram so it doesn't matter. Buy a Wix instead!!
