Interesting. What filter do you use in its place now?

I don't know yet, I'm actually still waiting for it to arrive but they said it takes 3/4-16 mounting thread or Mobile 1 M1-102 filter or equivalent. I'll let you know how it goes

Can please you post the tool that you used to take the oil filter housing off.

If you use the right tool, I just don't see how you can break the oil filter housing.
https://www.amazon.com/Filter-Tool-T.../dp/B007C9J2RY
The tool is keyed so you can distribute the force evenly.

Measure what came out by pouring into an old oil quart jug, and add that amount back in. It may waste a quart or less, but not 6.6 quarts of brand new oil.

I forgot to swap out the center stem when i upgraded. Im doing that this week when i change my oil, do i have anything to worry about, damage wise because I didnt swap them out.

Nice set up; do you have a link to the manufacturer of that kit?
PS I see a supercharger  Wondering if it requires a different viscosity of oil for the engine.

It is a dumb design, no doubt about it. What makes it worse is it's way too easy to overtighten the center drain plug, which makes it impossible to remove without using a separate tool to prevent the canister from spinning. If you can't remove that plug, oil will go everywhere when you remove the canister when it's full of oil.
There's really nothing wrong with a cartridge filter design, as long as the canister is easily accessible at the top of the engine bay, and isn't oriented upside-down. If VW and Subaru can figure out how to put the oil filter on top, why can't Honda and Toyota?

I use an impact driver to break it loose. I also don't put a lot of torque on it.

I like cartridge filters myself. I don't consider the oil change procedure to be that big of a deal, and I like being able to inspect the filter element without having to cut open canister filters.
The plastic housing is no problem either, unless you run into a ham-fisted hack lube tech, who over-torques the housing, and strips the skid-plate fasteners with his trusty impact wrench.
Which is why I do my own oil changes, and those for immediate family.

Here is the link: Baxter Performance Oil Filter Adapters
No, the supercharger does not require a different oil viscosity. In fact, this is directly from the install manual: "Note: It is VERY IMPORTANT to use the factory specified oil viscosity."

What keeps the Baxter spin-on adapter from coming loose when you remove the spin-on oil filter?
