Loose the glass filter for the reasons Retro Joe mentioned.

I too have seen quite a few break and the end results are never good!

I use the all metal style cannister filters available anywhere for most all general street use.

FYI...you should generally try to mount any cannister style filters vertically(upright)so any air inside will be able to get out and doesnt get trapped and cause the situation you mentioned.
