Hastings Air Filter?

[Mau]

So what do people think of this filter in comparison to Fram Extra guard or Beck/Arnley?

This is for my TL and RDX. The Hastings seems to be priced in between Fram andd Beck, Fram on the higher side, Beck on the lower side.

Tried googling and searching the forum here could not find any results.

I would run the Beck/Arnley myself, they are often closest to OEM construction.

Hastings is made by Clarcor and identical to their Baldwin line. Considered top quality. I have no idea which of the three would work best, if there would be any difference. Beck/Arnley is only a distributor, of course. No telling who makes their parts to fit Hondas.

The Hastings air filter I have in my 2006 Dodge Dakota is very nicely built and sturdy however it was a tight fit to install compared to others I have used in the past, no criticism of the Fram comparison [the Fram for my vehicle is good quality]but I do believe the Hastings is above it, I am not familiar with Beck/Arnley.

Many of the Hastings air filters are produced off shore as they own several filter factories > Morocco/Russia/China etc.

I almost exclusively use Hastings filters with no issues in years. Hastings actually claims to make the AIR filters for Purolator. I had a Ford OEM filter that was pre-oiled.. the Hastings product was a dead-on match... They make lots of filters for lots of companies.

Baldwin(Hastings) makes some great filters...I have no issues with the baldwin drop-in in my 7.3.
