All the same! BUT you should put a 2 micron filter before the CP3 inlet to save your injectors!

The best OE fuel filter was the Baldwin variant, however; I haven't ran an OE filter in so long that I really don't know if any of the others have caught up or exceeded the Baldwin specifications.

The best drop-in filter is the Baldwin PF7977 . It filters down to 5 microns. As stated above though, 2 microns is preferred to keep your CP3 and injectors happy and for that, you'll have to go with an aftermarket filtration system.
