Any good over the counter air filters besides OEM?
I recently went back to stock intake...I'm interested in getting a replacement filter...but was wondering if there was anything good out there besides stock? Perhaps a pure 1 or wix or some other brand? Let me know!

Depends what you want to spend. The OEM filters are good quality as are wix and probably pure-one. If you want the ultimate in an aftermarket application, the new AMSOIL Ea filters are great. http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/eaa.aspx
Cost for the filter to fit the max is $26 ($34.15 retail) plus your applicable sales tax and shipping. Pls see my post in the Group Deals section and/or send me a PM if you want one.

I am using that filter and I like it. I feel it is better than OEM.

I would like to stick with a regular filter...

Nissan's oem air filter is tough to beat. But honestly, I think just about all of the aftermarket air filters are good...STP, Fram, Wix, Purolator, Baldwin, etc. I'd buy on price personally. Amsoil and Purolator Pure1 air filters are probably a cut above other over-the-counter choices due to their unique filtering media. The only air filter I avoid is Micro Guard from O'Reillys. The one I bought had visible holes in the filter right out of the box...no kidding.
