Default STP Air Filter

So while I had the engine bay open to relocate the ballast, I decided to replace the air filter too. Went to AutoZone and got the air filter. Opened it up and Voila...it says "Made in Japan". Wow.

I would not use K&N or Blitz filters because they are meant to increase air flow at the expense of air quality.
