Of course genuine GM parts are always better than off-brand.Is there a filter for a different car that flows better than the one for our cars?

What about aftermarket fuel filters which is the best?

Summit used to sell a fuel injected one for $20; they don't any more, I was probably the only idiot buying one! I think Accel makes one now. Since then, I've stuck with either GM or Purolator.
