I thought about it, but realized Honda have VERY thick (high viscosity) PS fluids, not sure i want to try that with a filter.

Got a genuine magnafine from a local shop for $17

It's heavier than the Chinese raybestos, and comes with 2 hose clamps.

Here's a photo of the Chinese raybestos cracked open.

Here's the geuine and Chinese version side by side.

Nice price. Mind telling us where you scored that?

Which one is the genuine one? Left or right?

Right, one with magnafine written on it instead of raybestos

Here's a DIY for power steering if anyone is interested: http://rdx.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=828859

Looks complicated but could be worthwhile.

Damn, I got screwed on the Magnafine filter from US eBay as they shipped me a Raybestos.
They advertised it as a Magnafine but I didn't open the package in time to realise what had happened.
I bought it 2 months ago after reading Fredoops original transmission post so I can't do anything about it now. Pr*cks.

Can probably ask them about it, asking why it's advertised as a magnefine

It's obvious after reading the start of this thread that the seller knew exactly what they were doing when they sold the Raybestos as a Magnafine filter and being in the USA makes it too expensive to send it back so I will just throw it in the back of the spare parts cupboard.
I just bought what I hope is a genuine one from Aussie eBay from the same seller as Fredoops mentions above.

Damn I ended up with one of those Raybestos ones from eBay too, was going to get it installed this week! Ordered a legit one for $17 from gvfront ebay store. Rather spend the $17 even if the cheapo one is actually OK.
