Will the real Ralliart filter please step forward? Me, IE, and Gnulooks are trying to figure out if there is an imposter in the house.

From the topside:


From underneath:

 

i would say the one on the left is real

 

i would agree

 

OK guys here is the story, I paid $115 dollars for the filter in the middle. I bought it from Z1 and IE got his Ralliart from Vishnu Performance.

I am wondering if Ralliart makes two different kinds of filter or did I get the OZ version of the Filter?

 

I believe Gnulooks got hosed on accident. Z1 is a reputable establishment and Adam seems to be a good guy. Should I check my Twin Disc Cusco I bought from him and make sure it is not the stocker. FWIW Gnulooks filter looks like a painted version of the evo filter that I have bought at the local autoparts store for 100 less dollars.

 

Bump

 

LOL, quite a dilema!

 

Name the retard is what this thread should be titled. Gnulooks want to ride a lil yellow bus that resembles the one you rode in during your school years.

 

Yeah, but you know what the filter gave me a good "area under the curve." I just hope that Adam gets back to me ASAP, if not I will be calling my credit card company to make a stop payment.

I just did some research, checking numerous vendors carrying Ralliart filters. None of the vendors carried anything even remotely close to the filter I received "middle one."

Also, I checked the Japanese Ralliart web site and they don't carry the "middle filter."

 

the filter we sent came in a Ralliart box from our normal supplier in Japan and arrived to us 30 days ago - if you would type me the part number I'd be happy to look it up for you, or if you would like to return it, that is fine too.I have no idea what the "OZ" version would be, as we don't sell parts for that model

 

Adam, I sent you a PM. Thanks for the quick reply and I am sure we will get to the bottom of this. I am currently at Smogrunner's house, so as soon as I get home I will get the part number and send it to you.

 

Sounds good - per my PM to you I also sent copied of the above pics to my guy in Japan to see what he says as well, since we got the filter from them

 

Adam,
I've always heard great things about you and your customer service. Responding to this problem at 10:41pm on a Friday night doesn't say much for your personal life but it sure says a lot about your dedication to your customers.

 

Actually, I am on the east coast...does that make it better or worse?

 

The one on the left is...I have one and it doesn't look like the one in the middle...but it could be an earlier design maybe? Doesn't matter either way, no performance gains from it...
