Just got my RA order, which included a Pronto cabin filter for my Sedona. This was the cheapest filter listed on their site, FWIW. I went to replace the existing MANN filter today, which has been in service for 15 months/~21,000 miles. The MANN filter seemed to do a good job, as it was very dark and had a ton of bugs, foliage, etc trapped in the pleats, and the filter housing was clean, leading me to assume that the filter sealed well also. The MANN filter is a bit different than OEM, as it does not have any reinforcing in it whatsoever, and does not have the 'tongue' on the front which aligns it with the cover (not really necessary anyhow). It did still have a felt-like material on all 4 sealing sides.

The Pronto filter, in comparison, was built like a tank. It was OEM style, with a thick plastic frame, and foam padding on all 4 sealing sides, and also included the alignment 'tongue'. VERY snug fit. The Pronto did have less pleats than the MANN, but I didn't bother counting. For how cheap the Pronto filter was, and how solidly it was built, I was impressed.
 
I received/looked at several filters today. But IIRC, the Pronto was from China. My Beck/Arnley engine air filter was also from China.
