I buy multiple at a time on rockauto and it works out slightly cheaper then dealer mechanics pricing in the end.
Pros: cheaper than dealer

buy a Motorcraft air filter. It's OEM, excellent quality, and fairly inexpensive. I own a 2009 Ford Ranger, bought it new. Now 160K miles on the clock and still running well, Motorcraft parts only.
Pros: excellent quality, inexpensive, long-lasting
Vehicle:
Ford Ranger
Mileage: 160000 km
I replaced the air filter with a higher quality paper k&n, but thats it for anything under the hood.
Pros: higher quality paper
Vehicle:
Jeep Wrangler
Mileage: 5000 km
I will say - go ahead and get the Honda OEM filter. It is a nice, lightly oiled unit that seems to filter really well.
Pros: filters really well, lightly oiled
Vehicle:
Honda
a k&n air filter, it changes the car a fair bit and gives it some new life too
Pros: improves performance, new life
buy a nice K&N air filter and replace yourself.
Pros: good quality
I went to the auto parts store recently to buy an air filter. They only had one in stock, an STP. When replacing I noticed the old OEM one has around 100 pleats, the STP has around 65. I'm guessing more pleats = more surface area = better air flow. I didn't notice any difference driving it though. I think next time I'll buy an OEM one.
Pros: easy to replace
Cons: less pleats, no difference driving
I don’t recommend reusable performance filters since they can alter air flow enough that you end up running a little lean with a turbo charged engine. This is why a lot of turbo charged engines can’t just have a cold air intake slapped on without a tune. This actually occurred with my 08’ Subaru Legacy GT. Stick to a quality standard filter that offers optimal air flow and filtering capability.
Pros: optimal air flow
Cons: alter air flow, run lean
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
KN avoid them they allow to much dirt to pass through, if you want higher quality go AFE Dry Pro.
Pros: higher quality AFE Dry Pro
Cons: allow too much dirt
Reusable K&N filters very marginally improve performance at the cost of allowing more dust and other particles into your engine. OEM paper filters or other reputable ones like WIX do a much better job of actually cleaning the air.
Pros: marginally improve performance
Cons: allowing more dust
