Air filter Mann or Wix
Mann filters are excellent.
Pros: excellent quality
Vehicle:
Lexus
Wix air filters cost me about $40 total and took five minutes to do both.
Pros: easy to install
Vehicle:
Mazda
Bought a Mann Air Filter and center tail lamp bulb for my e39 for $15 bucks at Advanced just before Xmas.
Vehicle:

I was able to feel a difference right after replacing the air filter with WIX's. I can feel less stress on accelerating, even if there will be no actual hp/performance benefit.
Pros: less stress accelerating
Vehicle:
Kia
Part number: WA10271
I will use WIX air filters anytime. Even a thin pre-filter layer under filter. Thicker too. Impressive!
Pros: Impressive, good filtration
No, absolutely not!! I like WIX filters but any major brand is fine!
No, but get Wix
Vehicle:
Hyundai Tucson
WIX been using mine for 12,000miles on my 2019 Honda Civic EX and MPH went from 23 average to 30.5 average this is after 9 months on using the same filter. I’m gonna replace it with another WIX filter today. Last a lot longer than the OEM filter and kept my car more quiet as well
Pros: increased MPG, longer lasting
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 12000 km
The OE filters are fantastic at efficiency in filtration over service life as they will filter smaller particles consistently. But they will clog rapidly and reduce overall flow to the point of producing a compromise in fueling. This shows up in the combustion efficiency and nitration numbers of a comprehensive oil analysis. I tend to stay away from the high flow "performance" filters and just change my OEs more often.
Pros: fantastic filtration efficiency, filters smaller particles
Cons: clogs rapidly, reduces overall flow
Mileage: 24140 km
I see no benefit in spending more than $12-$16 on OEM supplier air filter (Mann, Heignst or what have you). Marketing can try their best but I just ain't buying it.
Cons: no benefit, not buying it
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
