I have been wondering about this for awhile. Anyone running a different oil filtration system ? I did a fair bit of search and couldnīt find much but one post about Matt running a remote filter in his race car .
Benefits of dual oil filter set up
-more oil
-much better filtering
-more flow
-probably cools the oil down some
-benefit of two huge filters is that they will not go into bypass mode, until very dirty.
-With two filters, you may want to run one filter that can trap much smaller particles than usual.
-You can see that the best filtering units, have the lowest flow. With two filters, you can have the best of both worlds

there is also the amsoil. The Amsoil block is a bypass unit, with a bypass, it takes one to catch the smaller stuff, and the other to filter the oil like normal so you don't affect flow to catch the smaller particles.
"When we took this Chevrolet 396 engine apart (By-Pass Oil Filter setup), it was in the best condition of any engine I have ever seen. It looked like it had about 80,000 miles on it instead of over 535,000. The bearings were not even worn to the brass and the rings were not worn out. It was clean inside, no sludge or carbon at all."

negatives of the oem system:Most oil filters will not be able to flow all the oil volume through the filtering media at higher RPM. Especially not the tiny Mitsubishi sized ones. That is why they have bypass valves in them, that open at around 15 PSI differential pressure.Most filters do not filter when the oil is cold, or at higher RPM, and all the flow goes through the bypass valves, circulating your dirty oil.
There is a good thread about this: http://www.3sgto.org/f13/oil-filter-options-1356.html
