Default Need new stock OEM air filter...

I checked with Honda and they are charging $44 for a stock OEM air filter. I looked online and the cheapest I found was here:
AutoPartMart.com

Just like to know if anybody has ordered from them before? I called them and they said iits OEM replacement, but the brand is White Box (non-OEM) and they do not even know the material of the filter.

Like to know where else you guys buy/order your OEM filters?

This is a request for product information and pricing and does not belong in UTH as per:

To get the information you want, you need responses from people in your area. Moving to Bay Area forum. You can ask it to be moved to the SoCal forum or the Wanted to Buy if you like. Your local Community Organizer can do this for you if you request it.

No problemo. I hope you get the answer you need.
Another option, though not sure if it would be cheaper after shipping is www.hardtopguy.com
He is a board vendor and is a good guy. His prices are very good but he's in Ohio and the shipping may offset any savings you might see.

Go get a K&N or Comptech instead IMHO. 9K really sucks in the dirt I've found so you are cleaning your filter every 1500 miles.

Nope, it's made of paper. Sure, you can prolong it a little bit by taking it out and using a wisk broom gently in the pleats to get the big stuff out, but eventually, you have to throw it away.
If you want to go with a drop in "cleanable" filter (so you can keep the OEM airbox), go with either the JR filter or the K&N that is designed for this car. They're not "too" expensive and it's a one time investment (except for the cleaning kit).
Since you live in San Jose, it sould be that dusty there and a drop in won't get quite as dirty as one that is in an aftermarket intake where the filter is more exposed to the elements. The stock airbox does a pretty good job of keeping the big dirt out. When I had my JR, I was cleaning it every 10K miles or so and it gets pretty filthy with my winter driving around here. These re-useable filters actually filter better when they get a bit dirty anyway.

If you want my stock one you can have it. There's like 38 miles on it. I drove it home from the mothership and took it off...

Thing is you have to come here to get it...
