Does the RX8 come with the aldehyde filter? Does anyone have one? Do they make a difference?

 

^i have no idea what that even is..what does it filter? fuel? oil?

 

army_rx8 - internal cabin air filter

The RX-8 does not come with them, you need to go to the parts counter and buy them.. (Install them yourself.. it's VERY easy to do. See the DIY)

Ohh.. and yes they make a HUGE difference to the air (smell) quality coming into the car!

 

The stock air cabin filter is not aldehyde but you can buy one as a replacement ~$45 at trussville or rosenthal.

 

definitely getting the aldehyde cabin air filter when it's time for replacement, they are awesome.

 

have one - seems the odors come through it after about a week of use though

 

you may have installed it incorrectly

this filter is AWESOME except when you drive by a great smelling BBQ or for instance I live right by the Ovaltine factory (chocolate smelll is great!) I now need to roll down my windows to get a wiff

 

there is a sewage treatment plant on my way to work... was fairly obvious that it worked for a week (i'd gather installed correctly) then stopped working

...maybe i'll take a look at it anyway

 

yum

 

Bumping. Anyone have any further experiences?

 

my cousin replaced his mazda cabin filter with aldehyde filter. it is awesome and works really great. he had no problems with it..

 

Most likley, I'm going to order it next month. I ordered my front lip spoiler to the tune of $361 and so that was my big car expenditure for the month.
