Perhaps I shouldn't have side "increase". Rather, I should have said "maintains".
Anyone that has installed one of these filters without a restrictor had found all too soon, that the oil pressure had dropped, sometimes quite radically.
The original poster most likely has an issue with the gasket seating properly. I highly doubt there is any pressure issue at all.
