Some people are under the illusion that anything "racing" is better quality when in fact the opposite is true because those engines are "always" torn down to change/improve performance so really no oil nor filter is used to the point that a daily driver is. :potstir:

I just bought a NAPA gold Napa-7148 based on this thread.  Looks pretty good (Just changed my oil so it will be a few months before this filter gets used).  The NAPA filter after tax was $13 and change.  I don't believe that is any cheaper than the black twin cam filter from the local dealer.  I have tried the K&N and Hiflo-Filtro black 171 versions also and both work fine, but I have heard other folks complaining about removal difficulty etc.  I believe after all this I am going back to the OEM black version and stay there.  Why try to change something that works fine?

With the exception of the drop-in one on my 76 anything I change oil on has gotten a Napa Gold filter for over 20 years.

Lots of oil filter info here.
Lots of BS also, don`t trust any of the cross references filter numbers, do your own homework.
