the cabin air filter from Honda is a flimsy low-quality part best to get one with a carbon coating. the engine air filter from honda is ok but [rockauto.com](http://rockauto.com) sells the oem equivalent and better.
Pros: oem equivalent, better filter
Cons: flimsy, low-quality part
I would not use the Bosch one again. 1) It has a chemical smell out of the box that needs time to dissipate 2) it restricts airflow... that's how it's a HEPA filter 3) Bosch isn't kidding about its replacement interval, when it gets plugged up (and it's fast) you get no airflow.
Cons: restricts airflow, chemical smell
