Bought & test installed NRW in line fuel filter, it’s high quality but the fitment is not OEM level given the tight space, filter bracket runs against the plastic ignition coil cover & the flexible fuel line to the rail needed to be relocated & twisted beyond my comfort level, also said rubber fuel line now sits closer/in the way of significant radiant heat from the driver side exhaust header.
I know some people have installed these & are happy, I personally wasn’t comfortable, so removed it.
Another thing is, the NRW or similar fuel filter should not be considered an alternative to replacing fuel injectors at regular intervals as they may already be clogging up as most cars have 50,000 miles or greater..
I wish the NRW filter were smaller in size, it would fit so much better..
