Last night I stopped at my local Pep Boys to buy some tools and decided to check their stock of filters for my 2k2. I started checking the Purolator air filters. Opened a box, looked ok. It was priced for $7.99. Decided to see if they had one in the Pro-Line brand. Opened the box, looked IDENTICAL to the Purolator. Both boxes had "Made in Korea" stickers on them. The Pro-Line was priced $3.99. Sneaky...
Bought one to compare it with the OEM.

Watch the sale ads at Pep Boys, last month the Proline filters were only $1.99 and you are right, they are the same as the Purolator Premium Plus.
