    Michelin MS2 K&N drop in filter
    I am trying to find a drop in paper replacement air filter for my 3.4l v6 that's not made in China,Im tired of giving money to those Communists MFers. Ive have always used PUROLATOR A34886 paper drop ins and while looking at it closely I noticed it too was manufactured in China! I thought it was made in USA no. I think FRAM might be the only manufacturer that still has real US manufactured filters? Can anyone tell any others that are USA made not foreign I really want to support US manufacturing by buying some US parts our economy needs the help.

    Fram's are mostly made in Mexico and China these days. Check out Wix or Napa Gold if you want something made in the US.

    I looked forever for a made in the USA airfilter. I never really found a paper one thats made in the usa, so I got a napa filter made in eastern europe.
    Better than china anyways.

    K&Ns are made in the US.

    Thanx for the help I checked the WIX and NAPA Gold or Silver all of them >Chink/Mexico. So I just ordered a FRAM 7626 paper on FLEA Bay( EBAY) for $14.86 w/free ship plus an $2 Off Rebate from FRAM will deaden the pain a little of buying a FRAM made in Canada or Mexico I don't know which. I even checked a airfilter called Mann supposedly USA made their Mazda and Toyota filters are made in China too. I already have a TRD/AFE oil type filter but im getting tired of oiling the MFer. Any filter manufactor designated ASIN is Chinese stuff FYI.
