Ooops i meant the title to read "replace" not race, stupid ipad. Mods please fix.



I see many places with many different prices and brands, as far as I was concerned I thought if the filter was carbon activated it should be more expensive, however I am seeing some w/carbon for like $12....


So I want people to chime in and tell me if this price is a scam and how much I should be looking to pay for one, also your recommended and models are WELCOME.

i know there's 2 kinds at sewell. i personally bought mine from a local dealer but i haven't installed it yet. get one and we could do it together.

I used the cheap ~$12 ones with charcoal and they seem to be the real deal. I can't imagine activated charcoal is even expensive anyways so I am comfortable with the cheap price.

I would get the OEM charcoal as I have purchased this and use this in my car.

Let's do it, trying to find one now.


U get those at the dealership?

Fram FreshBreeze with baking soda vs oem & others with activated charcoal - I feel like charcoal would win but who knows. Either way I highly doubt the small amount of either baking soda or charcoal lasts a year or more.

Someone should mod their filters with more carbon & add an ionizer. That would be nice and fresh

EDIT: to OP go OEM if you must but I suggest not overpaying for the (low-tech) cabin air filter.

I bought that Wix carbon filter from Amazon for $13 back then. Now I got a $12 eBay carbon/charcoal or whatever it is filter. Honestly, I almost notice no difference compared to the regular filter that came with my car.

Got the WIX one from Amazon too.. It's better in terms of keeping out smells than the stock filter. Probably will replace it again with one of those when the time comes. Not having any issues with it.

Just an FYI - The Fram FreshBreeze has a combination of baking soda and carbon.

Nope, dealerships charge too much. I get my parts from either Sewell or Parts.com, depending on who is cheaper.

I got the TYC charcoal in-cabin filter...fitment was spot-on and it works well.

I raced it with the oil filter. The oil filter being round and all won by a mile! Wasn't even close...

Ok, I just ordered the replacements off of Sewell. Bundled it with some other service goodies to offset the shipping cost.
