Aftermarket Cabin Air Filters?

Stopped by the dealer today. After prying their fist off of my nether region ($38.00 each), I decided not to change them.

Anyone know of an aftermarket supplier?

How about just blowing some shop air through them and maybe a little lysol?

AMSOIL sells a aftermarket filter for a few of the Hyundai's The get them from WIX filter manufacture.

Went to the AMSOIL site for filter lookup and Hyundai isn't in the pull-down menu.

Here yah go bud. Just remember to give them this number when you order. 1434386

Any other questions just give me a shout.

Mod edit: Offering individual product solutions is good. It allows the Hyundai user-base to expand their choices and promotes competiton within the industry. However, there is no need to paste the entire inventory of Amsoil in you every post.

They wanted HOW MUCH??

Today I bought a filter at the local Hyundai dealer in Hoover, Alabama (Tameron Hyundai) for my '01 Santa. The part number is 08790-38100-A and the price was $22.05 plus tax for a total of $24.03. All the other auto parts stores wanted that much or more for theirs and none of them had a filter in stock. When I put it in, I found that evidently the car never had one, so this is the first filter in the A/C unit.

BTW, I measured the new filter before installation. Here are the dimensions for all those who want to cut another filter to fit:
Inch size: 9-3/16" X 7-3/8" X 1-7/16"
Metric: 250mm X 188mm X 37mm
The dimensions do not include the thin foam gasket around the perimeter of the filter, but it was only about 1/16" or 2mm thick.
