99% filtration efficiency: the composite filter material can effectively filter out various impurities, hair, fines, dust, and flocs before they enter the engine. More layers of folds than standard air filters, allow maximum dirt and debris holding capacity. Protect engine: inferior air filter or overused air filter is easy to get clogged and restrict airflow to result in engine misfire, even makes the car difficult to start. PHILTOP air filter has a superior dirt-holding capacity, offering 2X engine protection. Increased fuel economy: PHILTOP air filter is designed to provide as much clean air as possible to the engine, ensure full combustion of fuel, improve vehicle mileage per gallon, and optimize engine performance. Perfect sealing: the filter has a leak-proof polyurethane resin frame, a perfect fit for the housing. The frame can work well with filter paper, improve tight sealing performance while sealing out the dirt, and reducing noise efficiently. Warm tip: fits Forester (2009-2018), Outback (2005-2019), Impreza (2008-2016), Legacy (2005-2020), WRX/WRX STI (2015-2020), Tribeca (2008-2014), Crosstrek (2016-2017), XV Crosstrek (2013, 2015), B9 Tribeca (2006-2007).

Appears to be a good filter

Let's face it - this is an air filter. It appears to be well made, measuring just a fraction of a millimeter from the original it replaced. Of course, there are probably better filters out there, but I'm not going to spend twice as much to filter particles at such a microscopic level that they just don't matter. I believe I can replace the filter if I save a few bucks. more often - this filter works for me.

  • Automotive
Cons
  • Low serviceability

It just doesn't fit my car.

**UPDATED** The seller (or his agent) has repeatedly contacted me offering compensation for changing the rating. This raises serious questions about the validity of some, if not all, of the other assessments. Be careful buyers. The filter is slightly shorter than the OEM filters by a few mm on one side. Fits in the box with no problems. But once in the box, it doesn't rest against the groove intended for the filter. And since it does not fit in the groove, the box does not close completely…

A very good filter with some limitations. Please Read Review

First off this is a very well made filter. High quality materials and much better than some other manufacturers. These filters are a little thicker than most. This is great for filtering, but makes installation a bit more difficult. Case in point: I installed this on a 2011 Impreza. I had to remove the airbox and install the filter from the car because it was too thick to fit in the car with one half of the airbox still on. But once the airbox was locked and reconnected, there was no problem…

  • Air Filter
