Champ air filter

[WiskyBadger]

Today I replaced the Fram Tough Gaurd air filter in the Impala with a Champ air filter. I was looking around a little bit to try and find information on them, not finding a lot. Wondering how good these filters are. I'm sure they are fine, but I'd like to hear everyones take on these. Thanks

This old study if you believe it puts them pretty decent.

The Tough Guards are pretty sweet filters though, just like the PureOne air filters with a lightly tackified oil on the media they are high efficiency.

I agree, I will probably stick with the yellow frams. Got the champ pretty cheap though. Less the $4 if I remember right. Champ does look pretty decent in that old test.

If you can get an Amsoil before they stop making them they last for 100k. I think they are the best but i can't bring myself to the high initial cost and my air filters last so long already.

Hi,
Both filters are made by the same company. Both are 98+% efficiency and get better as they get a dirt cake build up. The TG filter has far more expensive and durable media material.

They're the same efficiency and made by the same people so stick with whatever is cheaper is what I'm reading.

$40.00 isn't that bad really for 100k. They're going to stop making them? Why is that?

Slow sales, too many shapes and sizes to be practical.

I get it, and it makes business sense but that sucks. I would have looked into buying them.

I use champion air filters too because they are under $5. I don't see much difference between champ and fram, wix, purolator, etc. My vehicles run the same with any oneof these filters. Use w confidence and more money in ur pocket.

I just put one in my recently purchased 08 Silverado also, for the price I feel like I can't go wrong.
