The by-pass filter was on the vehicle when I purchased it. One thing I did not like was that it was connected with copper tubing with compression fittings which can fail due to vibration. Saw the results you spoke of when an exteranl metal oilline on a ford broke. I have replaced them high pressure rubber hoses employing inverted "something or other" ( forgot technical term:))fittings. These hold up in racing conditions so I'm not that concern about leaks/breaks. The by-pass filter supposedly filters about 10% at a time which is quite often over the course of a 1000 miles. Please understand that I'm not trying to be argumentative. The reason for my post is that the current filter has the input on the side -- about half way up and the return on the bottom. The filter I'm considering has both input/output connections at the top. I'm wondering if could be a potential problem. Thanks
