Fram (Cabin) Air filter 10K miles

[Silver02ex]

I pulled these out to check to make sure there's nothing wrong with them. They are both still in great shape. I also want to show the difference between this filter and the Napa Gold. I'll let you guys draw your own conclusions but I will never use a Napa Gold filter again.

Here's the Fram.

Do you find the Fram one to be more restrictive? The one I opened up in Walmart seemed pretty thick.

I used Bosch when I still had the Civic and I think they were the closest to oem. The Purolator one was junk.

I don't see any difference in the air flow. I really like the OEM but for $30+ at the dealer, I'll stick with Fram.

Fram engine air filter and cabin air filter are good quality and don't cost too much.

Cabin filters and air filters are close in design. My experience with Purolator engine air filter is that at the best they fit poorly and feel cheesy. The fram air filters i have seen fit much better.
