Default STP Air Filter

So while I had the engine bay open to relocate the ballast, I decided to replace the air filter too. Went to AutoZone and got the air filter. Opened it up and Voila...it says "Made in Japan". Wow.

they were 20 bucks, bought those myself, was surprised too, but it seems pretty restrictive, so i put them in for a day and switched them out with a blitz filter

I would not use K&N or Blitz filters because they are meant to increase air flow at the expense of air quality.
