Just wondering b/c I currently see this carbon filter at RockAuto for $9.25:
TYC Part # 800130C
(The same filter is also available on amazon for $16.17, but didn't exactly get a great review. They said it was too flimsy.)

Not 100% sure but they probably were TYC. I may have an extra one at home and I'll check. Pay no attention to Amazon review, it doesn't really matter if the cabin air filter is "flimsy". It fits and it filters air, there's not a hurricane force wind coming through your ventilation system.

I just put in a Fram carbon filter:

Amazon.com FRAM CF10743 Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter

It fits fine and works fine. Don't really notice that it cancels out any bad odors and I can still get funky smells. Will probably get a non-carbon one next time so I don't have carbon dust floating around:
