Cabin filter Mann or OEM Honda

Might be a silly question, but have you considered building it to have a Mann CU 2038 fit it? Have been running those in my \"stock\" cabin air filter since the original filter is NLA.

I checked to make sure the cabin filter wasn't restricted (Mann filter less than a year old).

In talking to some other people, Mann seems the way to go as it is essentially OEM with a lower price tag--their cabin air filter is also activated charcoal, so that's a plus--ordering up.

Mann Cabin Filter CU.3955 Fits mostly all Audi\u2019s, Passat\u2019s and all 98.2001 VW models, $5 (2 available)
