I bought 2 Mann air filters for my Rainier with 5.3L V8. They look like they were assembled by blind people. The quality of the rubber "trim" on the Mann is terrible. It's not uniform in appearance (thickness) and the cut is not straight. If they can't get some black rubber trim applied correctly, in what other areas have they skimped? It was also labeled "made in China."
The AC Delco, NAPA, and Fram filters I have used in that same application looked much, much better.
