^...seems dangerous to me. I scrap my exhaust (especially the Y-pipe area) all the damn time...especially going over speed bumps slowly. I can just picture puncturing this thing and then who knows what could happen. ;(
As far as changing this filter...I am game as well. I will look into buying an OEM one from Carson soon.
***P.S. to all that have changed the filter so far - how is your fuel pump holding up? Any difference in gas mileage and/or performance? Thanks!

ugh at the 8.01 from sewell with shipping $15.69
and 8.30 from carson with shipping its $18.25
gonna try my local stealership and see how much they want
EDIT: so i talked to the ONLY guy at my local dealership i actually like, and he told me it was 14 and then asked me what im getting it for and i told him and he told me $10 even so im gonna go get it tomorrow
called toyota just to check on it, the fuel "sock" from them is $10 also

I still didn't even bother putting in that ring you gave me either. I don't know, but you are right, when people take the filter housing out, be very careful and check all the rings. If a ring is torn, you are going to have the same problem as Och. But once again, you are the only person I have ever heard of this happening to. Just weird isht, I'm telling you, the car is a little pissed at you.
I wouldn't open the unit up again without worry all I’m trying to say.

The white sock is just a pre-filter. Keeps the big stuff out. It's a coarse filter, maybe like 50-100micron or so. The big internal one is the one that actually does the real work. I think that one gets it down to around 2-5microns or so.
Also, if you have no luck with Carson Toyota. You can also try the Toyota dealer in Houston, TX. They're called champion Toyota and they give the same discounts as carson.
FYI: For either Carson or Champion. If the part you're trying to order is shared with a Toyota. You will save a few bucks if you search the part number as a Toyota instead of a Lexus
