Do I need a 90 degree oil filter adapter to run headers?

[DrEamer]

As the title ask, do I need the adapter to run long tube headers on my Challenger with a small block? I had headers on my '70 Challenger, but it was so long ago that I can't remember to tell the truth.

Yes.If you want to use a good, long filter. You can angle which way you want to go.

No, you can use a Fram PH3614 oil filter and not use the 90 degree adapter

No, I use TTI headers without the oil filter adapter. Using the shorter oil filter works just fine.

Shouldn’t have to. Kim

As I said, IF you want to use a longer filter and you can angle the filter to your liking. But you don't Have to. Their website has that info and says to use a "short filter or an angle adapter."
