Default Cabin Air Filter Replacement

No question here, just a statement. Those things are a joke!! What was honda thinking on this one. Too much work for a $23 filter.

Im sure everyone on here has replaced theirs. Its not the funnest thing I've done.

:yes:

I've seen it done and for $3, you can't complain. I'm tempted to try one OEM, one DIY and see what happens

well they're stacked on top of each other so I doubt very much would happen I buy my filters from HandA accessories, they sell the same brand that supplies Honda but for like $8 cheaper.

I just bought one for my car for $15 which is not bad at all and good thing is it only need one. I have about 26k miles on it now and whenever I start my AC, It smells like plastic or rubber or something so I will replace mine once I got it in and post a DIY.
