can you run a stock style in-line filter with an 8an feed?

anything like this possible? I have had multiple problems with my magnafuel stainless filter leaking, and I would like to possibly switch back to a stock-type filter that i can just change out when dirty.
Has anything like this been done before? Any advice? Thanks.

Its not going to flow nearly what a -8 filter will flow and cause a bottle neck. MagnaFuel is really good about there product and will take care of any issue. Where is it leaking?

well I finally had a chance to look over the car, and this time it is actually leaking from the feed line that goes into the magnafuel filter, not the filter itself.
It seems that fuel is seeping past the hose end of the fitting(where the hose goes into the fitting) which then connects to the filter. I can see it trickling down the hose from here.
I have had very little time with the car, and was unable to take anything apart. I think the hose(braided line) might have either came loose or split somehow.. but not sure
Does this normally happen with these fittings?

how would something like this flow? Link.. Do you carry anything like this Nasty?
I am mainly looking for the best of both worlds, flows good and easily serviceable. I am not really a fan of the stainless filters.

I think thats meant for Carb pressures and will not withstand the high pressure of fuel injection. Why do you not like the SS filter? it is more serviceable than a paper? just remove and clean it? MagnaFuel makes a paper one if you have to have it. We also carry Fore and Fuelabs filters as well.
Feel free to give me a call I will get you fixed up.
