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

Take some pliers and squeeze the pin while pulling the hook off.
20121211-CabinAirFilter7500mi-04 by VictorN07, on Flickr 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. Last edited by andrewFT86; 07-31-2013 at 10:29 PM. Reason: fixed picture link |

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.

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.

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.
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/album...pictureid=6030 Quick comparison of the old vs. the new. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/album...pictureid=6066 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.
