HAMP Oil Filter Question

These oil filter threads always fascinate me. Why would anyone want to consider using a non-OEM filter? The OEM filter only costs a tenner so it can't be cost savings. A fancy looking filter with a shiny badge won't give any performance gains so why bother with it when the risk could be

Check this website... Under product description, it says:
'Fits all supported Hondas except the NA1/NA2 NSX, AP1/AP2 S2000.'

Yep, i'm sure there are a few Simon. I did a thread on it a while back.
But there are also a fair few non OEM ones which either burst or fell off.
So it's one of those things where you say, why bother taking a chance, no matter how small. Just my engineering head![smile.gif](https://www.s2ki.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
A like like Denso plugs.
PS - you got a new spoler on the NSX?? I like those R ones.

Hamp is a Honda filter though
Ive used them alot over the years and never had an issue.
"Introducing Japan Honda's aftermarket line of automotive products..."HAMP Synergy". HAMP Synergy are aftermarket products designed by Honda and are a step up from the "Honda Original Parts" products. Not meant to compete with racing produts, however, these pieces are quality. The HAMP oil filter can be used on any Honda, but was specifically designed for use in the Type-R and S series cars in mind. Features include a unique release valve that dynamically adjusts to the conditions within the filter to keep the oil flow and pressure constant. The HAMP oil filter will last longer and filter better than any of the oil filters currently on the market. "
