...a gift from Netherlands.I think they are expensive though.
So why not oil based foam filter you ask? well, ask experienced engineer that specializes in air flow and combustion as you won't believe what I say.

Too bad you'll have to throw it away after a few thousand miles.
Here in Holland it's a common service item. Nothing special, and almost everybody replaces them with the K&N unit that is much much better.

I understand the JDM thing, but It's just a random part you change during a service. Hardly thread worthy.

I don't hate on stock. I love the fact i can call my car stock.

I'm treading a fine line between calling myself a hypocrite here, but I don't see the purpose in buying something that will be thrown away in a few thousand miles, which could have probably been bettered by something much more easily obtainable, such as K&N or the like.

I don't know if you know this or not but I think the reason for this thread was mainly just to show the part number itself. The JDM air box design is different from the usdm one and the replacement part number is hard to come by. at least it was for me when I tried finding a replacement filter. I even had a hard time finding the K&N part number. Probably more of a "Just in case anybody wanted to know thread" and not so much of a "Look what I got " thread. at least that's the way I took it.

Good find OP.
