I had the twi side by side last night - the FRam is definately trash
compared to the Mann/OEM type.

You can see the diff in quality if you look inside.

Just my opinion - but one that is shared by many.

According to Greg Raven in the original VW Water-cooled Perf. Handbook
the
OEM Mann filter and the Fram PH2870A are two of the only full-flow
filters
to meet the factory specified 32 PSI pressure differential for the
opening
of the by-pass valve. I have never seen any other tests of this, but his
info really does seem to be pretty accurate over all. I dunno.....<shrug>
