time to change mine too! might just order it from subarugenuineparts.com comes to $46.36 shipping through UPS. Does anyone know if UPS will charge me brokerage fees once it crosses the boarder or is it below a certain cost?

always, they always will

UPS will charge you a $30 ($40 for oversized items) brokerage flat fee. PLUS tax, PLUS duties.

I made my own last night! I bought a 3M 1x25x20 super duper furnace air filter rated at 1700 something something. Anyway, from that size you can make 6 filters. I superimposed the old filter over the new ones and the size matches. Tonight I'll toss one in and reinstall my glove box.

If anyone is still interested I could sell a couple for 10 bucks each to make back some of the cost.

Here's the link i used to get the technical know how if you want to try this yourself.

SubieGal (subarugenuineparts.com) shipped my last order USPS (on request) and even declared half the actual value ... so I payed ~$8 brokerage fees + GST. USPS is the way to go.

I can see it now "my filter is dirtier than your filter!"

STI_Crazy · « **Reply #31 on:** February 14, 2008, 07:56:11 pm »

I could use a new one! I bet mine is full of dust. Damn Nisku roads.

Mr. Wheeler · « **Reply #32 on:** February 14, 2008, 10:28:37 pm »

pm me if you want one! I'm always going back and forth from Calgary to Edmonton.

IF YOU GUYS WANT ANYMORE I GOT ALL THE TYPES HERE AT THE DEALERSHIP,(SUBARU CALGARY) THE 20% OFF RULE STILL APPLIES TO ALL MEMBERS.

Sean · « **Reply #34 on:** February 11, 2009, 07:59:37 pm »

Whe I checked at the dealer it was $88!! That's crazy, it's the cheapest filter ever. Apparently Fram makes one now and you can get them at CT. Probably way cheaper if that's the case. I'm gonna go look soon...

Let me know what you find Sean, I would like to change mine soon since I never have never done it

Sean · « **Reply #36 on:** February 11, 2009, 08:03:46 pm »

I don't know if my car has one in it. I don't think all of them came with one installed, I think it was a option on some years. They all have the spot for it. I could be talking out my assay too, I'm just saying what I've heard.

Pee_Sack · « **Reply #37 on:** February 11, 2009, 08:06:41 pm »

there was a thread somewhere around here or ASC about making your own with furnace filters and duct tape.

Ill see if I can dig it up

GlennC · « **Reply #38 on:** February 11, 2009, 11:11:42 pm »

66K never been changed.

I need to do this.

TWRC · « **Reply #39 on:** February 11, 2009, 11:14:11 pm »

Funny that this was brought up again but I'm not surprised and Sean, Stu and I were discussing this over the weekend.  I just did mine yesterday with a regular furnace filter and it worked out great. To get rid any sort of smells, I sprayed the filter with some room deodorizer and needless to say, my car hasn't smelt this fresh, well...ever.

Here's some reading material that Stu gave me. The NASIOC link was done by our very own Honz.

I wonder if mine has ever been done... 150,000 km later.... $:-\$

TWRC · « **Reply #41 on:** February 11, 2009, 11:18:09 pm »

I think you'd be surprised.

Some cars are reported to not even have a filter in that compartment. Mine didn't come with one.

GlennC · « **Reply #42 on:** February 11, 2009, 11:19:47 pm »

Good info, I could do this at work in under 5 minutes probably. *goes on the hunt for a furnace filter in his hosue*

I heard that to, it's behind the glove compartment right? Would be interesting to see because i get a ton of crap on my dash for the vents.

TWRC · « **Reply #44 on:** February 11, 2009, 11:21:40 pm »

You most likely don't have one then. My dash is pretty much filthy at all times, I think this will help.

The install is right behind the glove box - 9 screws and a panel, very simple. Just check out those links that I posted.

bejamin · « **Reply #45 on:** February 11, 2009, 11:24:18 pm »

Just another thing to tinker with. I love Subarus!!!

p.s. first time going stage 2 this weekend, so excited!!! (off topic but i'm a happy lad)

Hey all i got my cabin filter from napa this summer and i think that it was under $30 and it is a carcol filter better then the Subaru ones.
Here is the part number with pic

GlennC · « **Reply #47 on:** February 12, 2009, 10:39:42 pm »

Bought 13 dollar furnace filter, gonna give it a shot

wrxman71 · « **Reply #48 on:** February 12, 2009, 10:59:20 pm »

I did the same thing and on my way back from b.c it sucked into the fan what a mess. I wouldn't do it . Plus it was a pain in the assay to do

GlennC · « **Reply #49 on:** February 12, 2009, 11:06:14 pm »

Worst case scenario if I can't get it as sturdy as factory its 13 dollars, I didn't splurge for the expensive one...

Im near a napa at work, might give em a ring tomorrow.
