Worst cabin air filter ever from Auto Zone
I can't believe how flimsy it is compaired to the stock cabin air filter. I took it back and got a refund. It was literally paper thin. I forgot the brand, I think it was SLP or something. Crazy thing, instructions was in spanish!!!

I will try those two mentioned in the future. I ordered the stock and it's rigid and tough.
Built Chevy Tough.

I have replaced mine. I found the directions in the owners manual. I will not try to explain how to do it, cause I will leave out a step and cause you trouble.
There is a door on the firewall just above the battery.

It's better to be stiff when you put it in. 
The "C" suffix is for carbon impregnated to control smells.

I bought the Purolator filter shown above from Autozone.
Replaced it when I had my battery out which made the job a little easier.

I bought a charcoal filter off ebay. Great quality and snug fit.
Install is really easy. 3 clips on panel above battery, open panel, slide the old one out, slide the new one in, close flap and close the 3 clips.

Yep, some of the crap they sell isn't worth taking home.

Wow, that really looks like junk. Here's a thread I did on the Purolator many years ago when the carbon thing was being discussed often:
