What's some good aftermarket fuel filter options for us to use? Looking to use something that looks a bit nicer then the stock filter.

Look at Aeromotive, Canton, Robb McGee (http://www.robbmcperformance.com/products/filters.html), XRP, and many more for "pretty" filters.

I got a 10micron earls filter it's also e85 safe. 175GPH filter so plenty of flow for bigger power as well

Thanks, was hoping someone would chime in with actual parts they used along with mounting solutions.

54514I use this. $14-$22. Takes 12mm straight threads with crush washers. I use it with a 12mm to -6AN male fitting.
It's 5-1/2" X 2-1/4". Sturdy, rugged, all steel. Used on Porsches, etc. Not gorgeous-not ugly.

I just upgraded my fuel system and went with a Radium Engineering filter. It is Alcohol/E-85 compliant. They have several media types (stainless cloth, micro fiberglass, cellulose paper) and the cartridges are serviceable/replaceable. In the stainless media they offer a 10-micron and a 100-micron. They also sell really nice brackets for the filter housing. They are spendy though.
