Default Air/Engine Filter

What is an alternative OE quality air/engine filter that can be used in 2IS? Been trying to find WIX filter but to no success.

Thanks in advanve

You have plenty of aftermarket options available. All of which are comparable replacements. If you're looking for a reusable filter, I would highly recommend the OEM-ish F-Sport filter. Others include Tom's, K&N, Blitz, etc...

You shouldn't be concerned with any Dry Drop In filters.

From what I understand, Napa Gold filters are made by Wix, if you look at the last four digits, they even use the same part number. Although most of the local auto parts stores around here carry the Wix brand.

You should get a F sport one. I have a K&N one and it is nice to just clean it once and a while instead of replacing it.

I purchased the wix. Just make sure to put your AC to the recirculation setting before you change the cabin air filter.
