I just got my order from Walmart. My old filter had some leaves on it so I'm glad I replaced it. As for the smell I got these because I wanted to try and stop the exhaust fumes from having a turbo. I leave it on recycled at every stop light.

So far the difference hasn't been overwhelming but I'd say it's better. That's just opinion though

Does it just not work or something? I will look into the carbon ones, maybe they trap smell better.
well, it might help smell if you flip a/c or heater on to circulate interior cabin air. Might...

I'd get one for pollen mostly.
