I have heard this ad about Fram Air filters...I presume they are for cars with carbys... um car-ber-rat-ed cars. I dont know how to spell it lol
fram makes air filters and oil filters for everything and have been in business for a half century.
mister ss | Apr 22, 2009
suggest you lok up fram.com ?
pendleton4068 | Apr 21, 2009
Fram makes air filters for both fuel injected and carbureted engines.
Logic316 ~good guys wear black♠ | Apr 21, 2009
Fram makes filters for most cars.
I wouldn't trust them tho...Their oil filters are utter shit.
For further information, carburetor is spelled "C-A-R-B-U-R-E-T-O-R". VERY hard word to spell, I think someone in France coined it.

is there any reason not to buy a cheap fram air filter rather than a stock air filter from the stealership?
Aug 03, 2007 by whosajiggawhat? | Posted in Volkswagen
i have a 99 v6 passat and i think i am going to get a fram air filter from kragen's rather than one from the dealership. any reason not to?
Fram always worked fine for me, I use their oil filters too. Seems good. Right now I have a reusable K and N filter in my truck, but those are $40+ and it got dirty and I didn't feel like cleaning it so I bought a Fram for use until I clean my other one. I like em. Cheaper than the dealership too!

Air filters, like everything else, come in varying levels of quality. Fram makes cheap "consumer" filters, and they make expensive ones.
The difference between a cheap filter and an expensive one is the amount (surface area) of pleated filter material. Cheap ones have less, expensive ones have more.
The kind you get at WalMart are the cheapest, the kind you get from a dealer or from a NAPA store (or other parts store that supplies dealers) are a better quality, and will have a different part number.
To test this, call a NAPA (or several other) parts store and ask for the Fram filter part number for your car.
Then call WalMart (or other cheap retailer) and get the Fram part number from them.
If WalMart (or other cheap store) sells the same part, buy it there.

There is no reason not to use an aftermarket air filter. I have put K&N filters in all my cars they are lifetime replacements. You don't even need to clean them until you have over 60,000 miles on them. Yes they are more money upfront but in the long run much less money and easier on the enviornment.
BTW I have Audi A4 & S6 the A4 is basically the same car as yours.

Air filters are one of those things that's a matter of preference. The dealership is going to try to squeeze every last cent from you, so you will do better going to the local auto parts store or Wal-Mart and pick one up...Fram is a good brand. I run Mahle in my Porsche. Just as long as you have one!!
And a couple of oil filters, too...they have free shipping over 50 bucks...
I think using OEM parts is a good thing, when you can. VW's tend to be sensitive, and using something other that what is called for sometimes causes problems...

Nope. Fram has to make a good filter otherwise it could be proven that they were detrimental in the premature wear of the engine. Lawsuits would abound aplenty.

Fram Air Filters: Jeep $6.59 Camry $18.59 Approximately same size. WHY ?

The Jeep filter is a more universal design. If you could cross-reference the part number on that filter, you would see that it can be used for many different makes/models. American automakers don't feel it neccesary to design a whole new bunch of filters, and spark plugs, and whatever else when they design a new car. The Japanese, however, feel like they need to re-invent the wheel with each new model. Concequently, that air filter is very specialized, and will only fit Camrys in a certain range of years.
DrewDane | Jun 14, 2006
Import fees. Don't ask what a Jeep filter costs in Japan.
$$ Profit of Doom $$ | Jun 02, 2006
Because they make alot more Camrys and there are million more idiots buying them and helping ruin our american economy. You should buy from the BIG 3 auto makers
Doug F | Jun 02, 2006
yes I wonder why..if you look at all the filters there is a big range in price. Since there's all made of the same material why such a difference in price?

Solve your problem by buying a K&N lifetime air filter for your Toyota Camry http://www.knfilters.com/search/appsearc h.aspx
You'll get better performance and only have to clean it every 50,000 miles under normal driving conditions.
bobweb | Jun 15, 2006
are you sure that because they look the same they let the same amount of air flow through them? that may be why.

The camry filter is probably not as common as the Jeep one. In other words, there are more vehicles which accept the Jeep filter (not just other Jeeps, BTW), therefore the air filter manufacturers can make more of them. The more of a particular product you manufacture, the cheaper you can sell it - this is called economics of scale. Jeeps have been using the same filters for years and years, while the Camry filter is probably changed to a different type every time the Camry is updated. Happens a lot.
ragnarok_tyr | Jun 16, 2006
probably the same reason, spark plug wires for my BMW are 108.00 and its a 4cy engine.
a good set for my Buick are 44.00 and its a V6 engine.
brian76db | Jun 16, 2006
you should be able to buy aftermarket brand filters that do the same job just dont have the pretty stickers on them at a quater of the price.

Which is the best hi-performance air filter k@n fram air hog or the green filters?
May 15, 2007 by chris k | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
K&N is the original and the leader in performance air filters and they back their product with a million mile warranty. The rest are copy cats and some of them are cheaper made versions of K&N. Green Filters have fewer layers and they are made in France. Fram contracts out their version to several small manufacturers and the quality varies from what I've heard. The foam stuff may look good from the short demos they show but as these get loaded with dust they don't clog. That's why some dirtbike racers I know like them. They don't clog in extremely dustly environments because they just past the dirt through.

How good are Fram Airhog air filters compared to K&N and other high flow brands?
Jun 28, 2008 by JKP0011 | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I just bought an 07 Isuzu Ascender and I'd like to improve my gas mileage (doesnt everyone?) and I was looking at drop-in filters and found a K&N for $65 and a Fram Airhog for $35. They're both washable and reusable so I'll never have to buy a filter again. I'd rather buy the lower priced filter if it's just as good or very comparable to the K&N. Will this actually help my gas mileage? I'm also looking at maybe taking the restriction out of the airbox as well. Like taking out the resonator and putting a straight PVC pipe in place. This not only improves the air flow I hear, but also makes the intake a little louder.
I drive a V6 Honda Accord Hybrid and have a 120 mile commute each day, so I pay attention to mileage and performance. I ran a K and N filter for about 2 years and I believe it provided better performance, especially above 70mph. When gas hit $4 a gallon, I switched back to the stock filter just to see if it made a difference. I gained 4 to 5 mpg with the stock filter.
There is a lot of talk on the internet about how K and Ns boost gas mileage--that's why I originally bought it. But when you think about it, modern engines automatically adjust to provide an optimal fuel/air mixture for combustion. If more air is added to the equation via a high-flow K and N filter, wouldn't the engine compensate by pumping in more fuel?
