Don't use Fram (what about Ferrari? LAC)

[Michael Guidotti]

Fram makes a line of High Performance filters HP1, HP2 etc, there are LOTS of race cars that use these. I have not idea how good they are but they cost about $15 each from what I can remember. I am guessing they are of a higher quality than the ones you can get in walmart.

Greetings Audinauts,
Let me be perfectly clear: Fram blows. Literally, apparently...

That said, I have always wondered why every Ferrari V12 I've seen in person=
 or in pictures has two Fram orange filters mounted right up top where we c=
an see them. Apparently Fram is what Ferrari specified back in the days whe=
n old Enzo sat in the big chair. How was that possible, and what kind of me=
ss could a dry sump Daytona make when those top-mounted filters let go?

Not apologizing for Fram- I won't use them- but I do wonder about this. Mos=
t recently when perusing an issue of Classic and Sports Car featuring a Fer=
rari Daytona road test, and also an ur-q buyer's guide...

Is there some Fram jacket Ferrari put on a Mann filter due to some arcane s=
ponsorship deal (grin)?!
