What’s the part number you used? Looking at Wix’ site, they list the 51042 & 51042XP, so I’d expect the XP variant to be the longer filter, but it’s listed as the same height as the other@ 3.404”..

in some states you have to pay tax on the car or trucks worth every damn year. talk about double triple and so on taxation. picture buying a new car, its 40 grand, you pay 6.6% tax on that or what ever that states tax rate is, then the same next year and so on and so on. id venture to guess the value drops a couple thou every year, but damn thats a tax. then i think theres a reg fee too, but you cant get new reg until you pay the tax..... thats RI as i understand it.

all my cars here in NJ are 70 something a year in reg. just paid for the ss camaro, was 76.

inspection is free state ran every other year. ( you pass as long as the cel is off, and passes a obd scan. (was not always like this, this is a ****** state lol) unless its a new car, then you get a 5-7 year sticker from the dealership. bad side is a over due inspection sticker ticket is now over 300 bucks.

in other news, i sold off my regal gs. the hoe is now officially a daily driver. managed to get 2500 for a 22 year old car with 244,000 on the body lol now thats a free TC, trans cooler and install for my ss camaro. (hurts way less then using my savings.) and a few hundred off my insurance, and less one $76 reg fee lol

The longer filter is NAPA Gold 1522 filter or WIX 51522. Just used the NAPA on my recent oil change.

It is so difficult to be PERFECT in a California smog test ( they keep raising the bar / New excuse for more needed money)..... I have heard difficult smog testing was solved by paying a testing station, found by a "friend" then pay a "fee" for them to find a clone car, and use the numbers for your car. I heard it is an underground industry.

I ordered the 51522XP. The XP has synthetic mesh backed media. Just their premium filter line.
