I bought this after seeing so many recommendations on here for Fram Ultra air filters. Went out of my way to find it in stock locally. Made sure the seal wasn't broken on the box. Hoped for a rubber gasket instead of felt. Got felt. The pleats look good, but the filter itself was immediately noticeably curved on one axis. Their is one edge that should flat agant the outside of the airbox, but is instead covered in protruding globs of glue. The other side has 1/4 inch of the felt gasket hanging off the side and the accompanying glue along with it. Basically, only 2 out of 5 surfaces that should be smooth and flat are in fact smooth and flat.
Is this okay??
Part number is 9997, covers many Subarus. Wish I had just gotten a SuperTech instead. This Fram was made in China.
