Cortcomp,

Define what you mean by "the filter failed". I do not see any signs of filter failure. I cannot see that the filter medium is ruptured, I cannot see that the can is burst, I cannot see that the bypass valve is broken/compromised. Remember I've cut many filters apart.

Tell me, what sign of failure can you see?? Inside most filters of the same brand are nearly identical, the medium may differ in composition or size, number of pleats, the diameter of the mounting hole may differ, the number/size of inlet holes may differ.
