So this is what came out of my cabin air filter. ugh. and that was just what i smacked onto the ground. I vacuumed it out and put it back but i'm gonna replace it. I know some of you guys have cut your own by getting a big house filter from walmart or something.

my question is how did you cut it properly? cause i mean the one for the car is a certain thickness and has the plastic pieces to screw in.....how did you guys fit it?

 

Remove the glove box and you will see it.

 

buy a cabin air filter off ebay for lancer/evo. Same part. I got mine cheap for around $15.

 

Yeah except most stuff ships from the states and i need to pay extra going through customs or duty or whatever. If I can make my own, I'd like to at least try....or I might just check the local dealer.

 

Interested in this too.

 

i believe Otter was one who said he would use the house filters and cut them down to size, id shoot him an email if i were you and ask. if you find out post it up on here, that or just go buy one and compare the size to the stock one. experiment. ebay ones are stupid cheap too, sucks you live in canada bro the shipping from and to there is terrible

Glad I work where I do I pick these up for pennies.

 

I looked at mine the other day and dammmm...i picked up the new one for less than 30 bucks took 5 mins to install.

It is right behind the glove box a white pannel with 2 screws.

 

Where'd you get yours from....since you're not too far from me lol

 

just curious, what prompted you to check the filter? was there a bad smell of some sort?

 

no....just other people talking about it....got the car a couple months back and wasn't sure if it had ever been changed.

 

I'm in the same position right now, but I don't think I'm going to even check it until I buy a filter.

 

Either NAPA or Benson Auto parts cant remember. not to far??...lol

 

I need to do this.

 

Agreed I am sensitive to dust and pollen, great thing I have a shop...lol...i have to say there is a big difference in air quality in the car now providing I don't have too many burritos.
