Does anyone make aftermarket cabin filters yet? OEM is pricey.

I checked at the beginning of the month and searched on google with no find. If you own a BRZ get your filter for the FRS from Toyota. A lot cheaper.

Take some pliers and squeeze the pin while pulling the hook off.

I don't use a pair of pliers when I do this. You can just pinch it with your fingers or press gently on one side and it will come off easily. Less chance of damaging it as well.

After buying the OEM Subaru cabin filter only to find out it is no longer activated charcoal for $27 bucks, I went and looked online and found from WIX that our filter cross references with the Honda Fit filter 07-08 models.

Updated with confirmed activated charcoal cabin filter that fits.

It was ~$32 + tax at my local Toyota dealer.. guess different dealers are charging different prices, that's actually MORE expensive than the Subaru dealer's price.

Yea, don't use pliers when doing this.. the plastic is super soft and it'll deform like butter if you use pliers.

Thanks! I just hit 26k miles and have road tripped about 10k from Alaska and back, so I'm kinda scared to see what mine will look like... I've had the filter for a few weeks now. I should switch it out when I get home.

Found this thread when searching for activated carbon filters for the BRZ as that's the route I want to go.

I think Subaru has activated carbon filters for some of the Legacy models, but your OEM filter was just dirty. That's pretty much how all of them look after some miles. As far as the even coloring, attribute that to well designed HVAC airflow.

No my original filter was indeed an activated charcoal filter - as the dirt was not embedded inside the media. The old filter and new had two completely different part numbers.

Either way I have a cleaner smelling HVAC now so no problem for me.

No. The FR-S cabin air filter is not. The part number for the cabin air filter is #88568-37020. It is NOT carbon activated. I'm staring at a new one still in the package right now. It is a plain white filter. Here is a picture of it.

Quick comparison of the old vs. the new.

You could always buy this:
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Cut-to-fit-Carbon-for-Air-Purifiers/dp/B000U204W2"]Cut-to-fit Carbon for Air Purifiers - Amazon.com[/ame]
and wedge it in there with the regular filter. Looks like enough to make a bunch of carbon filters.
