Cabin filter OEM Honda or K&N
Cabin filter in a somewhat older honda cost €6 and took about two minutes to replace.
Pros: cheap, easy to replace
Vehicle:
Honda
Tbh I was looking a lot into them. I just ended up going to the Honda delaership in person and buying their Honda OEM filter they had for $45~ CAD. Save myself all the labour and markup and the fit was super nice. Most filters have a bad fit so even though it says it’ll go for the car you have it’s not a snug fit
Pros: super nice fit, good quality
Cons: bad fit
The K & N ones are very nice quality and make sense if you are going to keep the car for many miles. Once you buy them you will look at it and think man all the other ones are bad quality.
Pros: nice quality, long lasting
The VF2074 fits just as well as the oem, you should be able to set it in the oem door / latch. I have it on mine with no issues.
Pros: fits just as well
Cons: no issues
Part number: VF2074
That's a cabin air filter from a Honda, probably a civic circa 2014-17. Having worked for Honda as a technician for several years, the pine needles are actually quite common since the filter sits horizontally above the blower motor, allowing things to fall on top of the filter and accumulate like this.
Pros: pine needles common
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
I got a K&N washable filter. It’s got the wire mesh that keeps them out. Haven’t had any issues since installing it.
Pros: keeps mice out
I have bought and installed air and cabin filters from K&N. Perfect fit, washable and last years when cleaned properly.
Pros: Perfect fit, washable, long lasting
Go for the K&N cabin filter and you'll never go back to those paper ones.
K&N cabin filter benefits:
* Reusable and washable.
* The static charge on the filter captures way more dust, germs, and bacteria.
* You can breathe better and less dust that makes it through your car vents.
Pros: reusable, washable, captures dust/germs, better breathing
Replaced cabin air filter w k&n high performance filter in prep for my 60k, car feels so much faster now. Butt dyno is reading 10+ hp gains!
Pros: car feels faster
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 60000 km
Yay. For cost and availability
They are cheap compared to others. K&N’s does not clean as well as I want it to and the HKS filters are super hard to come across (charcoal nano micro fiber????)
Pros: cheap, available
Cons: doesn't clean well
