Very useful From Bitog In this link you can find pictures of all the listed filters

Click on filter for dissected picture.

Found it while I was cross referencing my B2 and looking for a synthetic element. The B2-HPG is synthetic media 3/4 16thread.

That artice probably took a lot of time to research (not to mention the cost of cutting open those filters). I saw a link with pictures for special filter cutting tools, and a filter vice for holding it in place. Do they have an article on the different threads of these filters? This would come in handy as a reference.
 






Ok I will look.

I believe all the ones reviewed were 3/4 16 thread.

If you haven't seen this already take a look. I have a link to Bitog with all the major filters cut open for your viewing.
Just a mid day bump in case it was missed.
 






Dayum looks like the Napa "Giganto" would be a good choice in place of the FL-1a motocraft I always run
Based on element area alone

Nice to see which filters use a synthetic element

Nice find and great information
