Filters well but causes air flow restrictions
Very thick and does filter well however it is so thick it actually blocks quite a bit of air flow

Did not disappoint!
Perfect Fit: Bolted right up to the engine block without any shimmying or modification needed. ​Strong Crank: The motor sounds powerful and turns the engine over significantly faster than my old, dying unit. Once hooked up, the car fired up instantly on the first turn of the key. No grinding, no clicking, just a smooth, high-torque start. Price: A lot more cheaper then your average auto parts stores. ​Build Quality: The solenoid connections are solid and the threads were clean. Packaging: The box arrived on time but a bit beat up, but the starter itself was well-protected in bubble wrap and undamaged.

Still working great!!
I really didn't have a good feeling about ordering a starter online, but I was in a situation where I didn't have the time to get to the auto shop before my day off and Amazon could get me this part just in time. So I reluctantly gave it a shot. When it showed up it had a couple of small black pieces of plastic loose in the box similar to the pieces shown in another review on here. It didn't look like they from anything functional. I really needed to get my wife's car running so decided to install it anyways. The install was easy and it was a perfect fit. The only draw back would be that the signal wire didn't click in place like the signal wire on the original starter. But it was a snug fit. It has been installed and working great for a month now. Very happy with my purchase. It also had a message from the seller when I opened the box giving the starter a 2 year warranty. Very cool. If the starters fails in the next two years I'll get on here and edit my review. So if your reading this then it is still working great.
