Ordered the ATP HA-2 cabin filter before finding this thread. So, i ordered the TYC 800179C too. Here are pictures of both of them side by side. They appear to be the same size. They both came sealed in plastic bags inside of boxes. Ordered the ATP on amazon with prime shipping for $14.48. Ordered the TYC on ebay for $13.98. They both got to my house quickly. The TYC was from a local seller. The ATP has 23 pleats and the TYC has 34 pleats. They're both carbon activated. The ATP has 3 strips of plastic running across the pleats on one side to help stabilize the pleats; the TYC does not. The TYC has strips of polyester fiber at the top and bottom; the ATP does not. The TYC pleats are made from thinner sheets of paper. Also, they are both made in Tawain.
Which one in your opinion is a better filter? Since they are both prices similarly, but I'm wondering construction wise and potential capability wise, which you would go for if you only have one choice?

If I had to pick one, I would choose the one that is selling for cheaper because they're both well constructed. They're just cabin filters and won't give me any horsepower increase.
