I have chatted with two different SOT's about this. The "Econo-Can" is a odd bird. It comes with a oil filter INSTALLED on it already. YOU the owner are NOT legally allowed to change it ( though I suspect many do ). By law you have to send it back to them OR a SOT2 to have the filter replaced. If you do it yourself you have made a suppressor ( suppressor parts ) that is violating federal law with up to a 250,000.00$ fine and up to 10 years in jail. Also as the ATF says OWNING spare parts for a suppressor is illegal then if you where to have one of these and a spare filter for your car in the garage you are also violating the law.

For the price spend another 125 will get a cheap real suppressor and 225 will get you a outback ii.
