Stand out from your competition with your choice of all Stroud chute colors, in any panel combination at no additional charge! Custom applications are Stroud’s specialty, and they recertify all Stroud SFI-rated products.

Part Number: SUM-590200 “CLEANABLE” OIL FILTER SYSTEM 1 559-687-1955 www.System1Filters.com Summit Racing CarbonX flame-resistant long sleeve undershirts and pants are made from a non-flammable fabric based on the patented blends of oxidized fibers of CarbonX® material. Used by workers in industrial, fire, and tactical industries, it’s the only fabric that can withstand the direct flame of a blow torch without melting, igniting, or burning—up to 20 times longer than the leading competi- tion’s garments. The Summit Racing CarbonX shirts and pants are available in men’s small, medium, large, extra-large, and 2X-large sizes. CarbonX head socks and foot socks are also available. System 1, the oil filtration experts, have introduced a new canister-style oil filter with an easily removable stainless steel mesh element. This facilitates prompt inspection of the lubricant for engine-damaging debris and eliminates messy filter bisections. Engineered to fit virtually any engine block or remote mount, the housing is CNC machined from billet alumi- num and black anodized. A 45-micron element is standard, but 35 and 75-micron elements are available options. An important money-saving benefit of the System 1 oil filter is the ability to simply clean and re-install the mesh element, eliminating the need to constantly replace spin- on-type filters. It’s an investment that will pay dividends in saving time and money for years to come. All products are proudly made in the USA.
