Maybe OEM parts are more expensive, but you can get those filters non OEM and save money at the outset.

Got this from another forum a while back:

"The ones I used were made by Wix. The part number is 24817. It takes two and there were two in one box. Total cost for them including tax was $22.83."

Got this today from autopartswarehouse.com:

"Civic Hybrid Air Filter B1000-118503 $19.66 "

So that comes to WAY less than $81, if you want to use non-OEM parts......FYI gents.....
