Thanks for the vid

Nice DIY

Yeah I posted these in the other thread but uh, here was mine after 25k.

Grab a Fram Freshbreeze from RockAuto, they're like $18. No sense grabbing an OEM one since they're MAD expensive.

Are these reusable?

Midway through page 4 they mention the arrow. Air flow goes from top to bottom. Someone mentions it could be air flow arrow(down) or it could be an orientation arrow(up). Dunno

No. Replace it.

Yup, it's $20 every fifteen thousand miles or so which is well worth it to make your car not smell like sour milk and old farts.

I'm shamed to admit that I had no idea there was such a filter in there! Probably would never have known and just driven round with the OEM one for the life of the car.. Orz

RichardsFRS · 06-04-2016, 08:35 PM

Helluva lot easier than the one I put in the wifes Soul. I had to remove the whole glove box assembly to get to the filter box.

Haha! Great! Didn't know I had a cabin filter. At 53,000 miles I think I'll check it out.

Thats a good question, Im really not sure, I was assuming it was orientation arrow. When I opened the box the stock FR-S arrow was pointing up so I put the one that I bought as pointing up. I haven't noticed any difference in the airflow at all in the past few days in my car since installing though
