Well, I talked to my sales rep this afternoon and got the bad news. I've had several cases on backorder since before the 1st of the year.
Fram has officially dis-continued the oval air filter elements. They are gone with no plans to make another run at this time.
If you need one and find one , my advice buy it

An 'orange' lip would be NORS, not NOS, as the original line filters were black
I talked to a factory Rep last year, and he mentioned the CA322V's were slated for production shut-down, not to be discontinued, just on hold, ...production orders are just not substantial enough to dedicate to the small production numbers required to start , or interupt the commercial lines,...Fram is based in Prov RI
minimum order for production is 1000 units to be considered for production, as I looked into having some made

Oh well I digress,....must be old age  I thought the line filters were black bonded, ...either way we won't see any repros until someone is willing to drop about $50K-$75K on a bulk order with FRAM Is there any interest in the Fram 332 oval filter?, it's basically the same 6pak but without the preforated metal guard around the element,...a production run of those is fesible @ 500 units minimum order Mike

In all honesty, IF the buyer retains exclusivity to the entire run. Meaning Fram doesn't wholesale some of them as well. That may not be a bad investment. But it comes down to cost per piece.As you would need to be able to sell some at a wholesale price level as well as a retail market.
I actually could probably sell 50 of the 332V filters right now if I had them.
But being able to afford even a partial run on my own is out of the question.

Unless these were dirt cheap,( $30 or less IMO) I have my doubts they would be a good investment.
UNLESS it was the only one avail. Problem is, it's Not. K+N is still readily avail.
And most buyers would buy the K+N for a non correct filter at similar price points.

My rep mentioned these as an alternative.
so It appears K+N is not the only game in town.
