I run the Cat fuel filer with a Baldwin water separator.
This kit:

Even with this setup there is no way I would remove the front filter. The way I see it, the more filtration the better.
This kit will allow you to extend your change interval if you choose but even this is a stretch.
Install was a breeze!

I have the kit but I hear rumors of the cat filter gauling the base
I also have the Cat/Baldwin water sep set up - agree with CMB - NOT remove factory fuel filter - I have about 15000 miles on mine - not changed yet - I monitor lift pump pressure ( FASS 90) and have not noticed much change to date. runs 13 to 16 psig

@Capt543 can you elaborate on this gauling?

@Call90. What's the logic behind removing the front filter? Do you know something we don't??
Even with the secondary filter im still running the nanonet unit up front.

I've been told that since the cat filter being all aluminum threads.
That is will cause gauling on the base threads and almost weld itself on.
In turn pulling the threads off the filter base when removed.
Idk how true it is.
I haven't changed mine yet.
Interesting, I haven't changed mine either. Maybe just a touch of oil on the threads as a preventative.

I have that setup but intentionally elected to keep the front filter in place.
Just my opinion but I feel like I want as much filtering as possible and the front filter would catch also anything that might get in the line during a change of the CAT filter/water separator.
Fuel injectors are way more expensive than fuel filters.
Also the factory front fuel filter will last exponentially longer than it would normally with the CAT filter/water separator ahead of it.
With respect to the aluminum threads galling, the instructions state to smear a dab of anti seize on the filter threads prior to installation.
Do that without over torquing the filter and you should be good.
I’ve changed filters three times with no issues whatsoever.
