Has anyone seen these yet? Looks like it might possibly be the filter media from the last generation of Fram ultra air filters (yellow media and bagged) before they changed to the white media.
Like the fram air hog filters?
GotchaThe OP is describing something like the TG air filters, which used to be yellow. They are not reusable.
The AirHog is red like K&N, washable and reusable, with all the problems that come with K&N.
I think I’ve seen those before if it’s what I’m thinking of they remind me of the delco extra capacity air filters.The OP is describing something like the TG air filters, which used to be yellow. They are not reusable.

They do look nice, I don’t know if they are tacky or dry but would guess probably dry since from what I’ve seen they aren’t in a sealed bag.They look like a nice filter. Is the media completely dry or is it tacky to some degree
I agree, sometimes though aftermarket can be better than oe. To bad no one is doing any sort of testing that we know of.Engine Air Filters need to be classified into two broad categories.
1) OE grade and those which resemble them.
2) After market filters graded, perhaps, by weight.
There's little to compare except for appearance, # of pleats, dimensional correctness.
Nobody's doing dust catching tests...and if they did, the next time you purchase one it'll be different.
Engine and Cabin Air Filters seem to change batch by batch.
Are these even made anymore?Like the fram air hog filters?
I don’t believe so not on the fram site. I was mistaken them something else. The old fram tough guards had a pre oiled media.Are these even made anymore?
The Fram air hog filters? Didn't PETA put a stop to that? They weren't made with any pork products, but still, the name.Are these even made anymore?

The pre-oiled Fram filters don’t have enough oil on them to cause harm to the MAF, it’s just a light coating to help with filtration.If it's the FRAM with the "oil in the pleats", then how does this work out with the MAF sensor being right next to the air filter box?
GM's TSB didn't name names. I think they were mostly warning about K&N, but they said the oil from these filters were crapping up the MAF sensor then causing the transmission to shift wrong and sometimes cause permanent damage to either/or.
