they're basically the same price, maybe a dollar more for the wix. wix is one of the only companies that makes their own filters still instead of farming them out to china. they also have more pleates per square inch than any other filter, thus offering more filteration surface. having cut wix filters apart for inspection, i'll say they're pretty dang stout inside. they also have an anti-drain-back valve in them which most other filter companies do not.

there are only three filters i'll consider using any more:
-Wix
-K&N
-Mobil1

the wix is by far the cheapest. wix also makes napa's filters, so if you buy a napa filter, it's basically the same thing.

having been on the "other" side of the counter for a few years while i got through college, i have PLENTY of dumbass customer stories...
