The stovebolt oil pumps can barely keep up with the demand for oil with the current flow route. Check the oil pressure at hot idle with an accurate pressure gauge sometime. Adding a couple of feet of flex line and a spin-on filter design that allows most of the oil to drain back to the oil pan every time the engine shuts down is foolish. Making a modification just because it's something new and different without upgrading the volume of the pump cannot be good for the overall good health of the engine.
