Comparing cheap filters to good ones, sometimes there's half as much
media in the cheap ones. The NAPA cabin filter was great. You'll need a
hacksaw to change the cabin filter, if it's the first time it's been
changed. You'll notice a great difference. Get the instructions from
odyclub.com, or google.com.

bosch wiper blades are better than anco. go to advance auto parts or
checkers whatever they call it in your area for those. if fram makes a cabin
filter u should look for thiers. it's probably equal to the dealer one if
not better.

I find that the rubber insert refills from my dealer for the Accord are
cheaper than most of the aftermarket items and work better.

In general AutoZone's stuff is not better or worse than the other
aftermarket chain stores. The thing is, check to find out if you are
really getting a better price there than is available at an agressive
dealer parts counter.
