Would you use this? Worried it will not seal properly http://imgur.com/a/t4O2p

Sorry I wasnt able to upload the photo directly to the message.

Thanks

The pic litterly shows nothing but where the folds are glued to start or end a batch....
A bit OCD?
EVERY HD Truck filter I have ever seen looks like that.

Those little wavy ripples in the rubber end piece make no difference, as that surface is pressed against and conforms itself to, its hard mating surface.

They all pretty much look like that.

Thanks everyone! Yes I do mean those wavy ripples on the inner lip just where the air box gasket meets the filter.You can feel them with your finger. The filter which I am using now and want to replace does not have those and I was woried the new one will not seal properly.
