Review on ๐Ÿ”ฎ EPAuto CF12157 Carbon Replacement Activated: Enhance Air Quality and Odor Elimination by Chris Barreto

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Perfect fit for 2017 Subaru Impreza

Consistent with other reviews this is perfect for 5th generation Subaru Impreza (it's 2017+ which will also be the same as Crosstrek 2018+). By the way, if you've never changed it yourself, it's ridiculously easy in these cars. see instructions and photos in your manual. Some observations: It has fewer creases, making it only 77% of the surface area of a factory Subaru filter. Don't know if it's important to change your filter regularly? It's noticeably heavier, as another reviewer also noted, and looks like a charcoal filter, as per the description here. But the box doesn't claim anywhere to be an activated carbon filter? So that seems like good value for money and if it reduces the smell then that's great value for money. A few people here have asked about flow direction arrows, the unit I received had "flow" on the long edge as opposed to the factory filter which had an "up" arrow on the short edge.

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
