ooo didnt think to use the poll option. Sweet, I thought I would see a response after a couple of days, but this turned out pleasantly.

I can't say that my filter is larger but I relocated my filter and replaced the filter with a Canton Racing filter. Swapping the filter is now a piece of cake. Can't say that I've noticed a difference in the way it filters the oil but Canton claims it does a good job.

sweet. Just finished installing the perma-cool oil filter relocation kit so I figured it wouldn;t be a bad idea

I started with it, and moved to the Canton piece. The intercooler hoses run in the same spot, and create an interference problem. I have stock intercooler hoses still, so it wasn't too much of an issue.

^I ran into this issue as well but with a Derale. A couple 45* adapters fixed the problem easily. Was a headache figuring everything out though.

It's a no-brainer with a N/A. I've had the larger 51515-size filter on there since the first time I changed the oil, some 18 years ago.
Bigger filter - costs less - works better - what's not to love?
