    • @wonderingmonitor1996
      @wonderingmonitor1996 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Daniel Z well, for me it matters in the sense it keeps jobs in our continent (rather than made in countries like China). Also nice that it keeps jobs where someone actually makes something (not everyone has 3 master degrees, so I reckon it is a good thing that we're keeping some of those jobs here). So if you're just looking at the filter: surely, you are correct. However, I also look at other things supporting (sorta, kinda) local business and jobs for Average Joe. For me, if I can choose between 2 filters of similar quality, but one supports a business in a neighboring country and helps keep people employed that look similar to my family members - that's a nice extra for me and I'd even be willing to pay extra for it.
      Not being against anyone that chooses otherwise (to each his own), just trying to explain why it is relevant for me, that's all.

    I'm sorry but I have to say this. These oiled performance filters are ok for carb cars, or cars that do not have a hot film/wire air meter. But considering that a good 80 percent of modern cars do, the oil residue will ruin the airflow meter and you will find that you will have to replace the meter. You are better off with the factory cotton filter, and there is little to no difference in performance gains.
