Default C6 Cabin Filter

Hey guy's, anyone know where I can get a C6 cabin filter at a decent price? I heard they're over $100 dollars from GM!

$114 at the dealer,

or... $8.99 in any US Auto Zone type store.

It's a no brainer. I got mine in Miami last year, I wanted to stock up and buy a bunch for all my Canadian bros but no luggage space left.

Picked one up last year for that price right after Corrado mentioned they were on sale.

I went to CTC and bought a furnace filter that was a "blue mesh" and cut my own to size. You can get about 4 for about $3.

I know..... I'm cheap. But it works.

Not sure, a friend in the Porsche club just bought a bunch of stuff from them and said they are the real deal with regard to the delivery pricing.
