fyi, I think the figures you used for the Motorcraft was the standard 820S. I didn't see an efficiency for the racing filter but my guess is it's more efficient. It does have substantially more media that the standard FL820S. The M1 is much more efficient than the standard 820.

I was chopping open filters before there was a BITOG. The tape measure is a crude tool. Over the last 10 years or so, I have seen a steady decline in the amount of media in the lower priced filters I have used. It is possible less of a better media is OK. Unfortunately with the Ecores, change in ownership of Purolator, and who knows what else, I am afraid much of the older information tells us nothing about the current filters. Keep up the...

OK...I removed the original pic by accident...here it is again Turns out that's the COLOR of the BROWN SEAL (Bypass seal?) at the top! No rust at all there. OK, there some IS fine rust dust around the SPRING..very little and only in that area. (You can also see a trace of it on the spring in the top pic at 4:00 right near the oipening).

HHAHAHAHHAHH

That doesn't look like a Wix to me. It looks identical to the Made in China Parts Plus filter I'm using on my mom's Malibu right now. Hers was sealed like that and has an identical base plate.
