I got the cheap one and did it in five minutes. I was stone cold sober though. :dance:

Hi,
Exactly - Smart Choice! Paying the premium for the Activated Charcoal Filter is, in deference to my friends who are Subjects of the Queen, -
BULLOCKS! This is especially true if you are doing most of your driving
Top Down. My Car had the Activated Charcoal Filter and I changed it for a straight Paper Filter.
I remember the days when the air wasn't filtered at all - nobody died. I concede that filtered air has the potential to extend the life of the fan (because there isn't a lot of junk to clog the bearing(s), and after Winter Storage you may find the Car smelling lees stale (because there's less potential Mold in the Ductwork).
But an Activated Charcoal Filter on a Convertible is akin to adding
Slick 50 to the Crankcase, needless and much more spendy...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
