Frams for the non-turbos do NOT have the check valve. It's easy to see; look down the central threaded hole, and it's either there or it's not. The Mahle filters from Imparts have them (about $5), and are good solid construction - at least twice the weight of a Fram. Mann filters have them ($ unknown - mine was included in a change), and look identical to the Mahle. The OEM brand filters I mentioned earlier also have them and also look identical to the Mahle. I don't notice a huge difference in noise between valve/no-valve, but I usually don't listen that well. -- Andrew L.
