If you torch the tranny and broken piece parts go floating around, they'll wind up in your converter and eventually spell the demise of it. I installed a remote filter on the way out to the cooler. I don't plan on the Lentech taking a dive any time soon, but after the investment in the tranny and converter I thought a $25 filter kit was well worth the effort. It adds a little extra weight to my car, but again its worth it.
