Yeah, that's the good one with the Activated Charcoal in the filter media. Good price too.

I recommend the ATP HA-5 filter. I ran it in my car for 15,000 miles when I first purchased it. It was the first filter I had in the car so I didn't really realize how good it worked until recently I put in a WIX paper cabin filter (no odor eliminator, no activated charcoal) in the car.

Now when I drive through smelly areas (dead skunk, people cutting grass, behind 18-wheelers blowing out black diesel exhaust fumes) I can still smell it inside the car when I press the "Air Re-circulation" button.

Back when I had the ATP HA-5 filter, while driving through the exact same conditions and pressing the air re-circulation button, I wouldn't be able to smell anything if much at all. The activated charcoal really works at eliminating outside odors from coming inside the cabin. A hell of a lot better than the WIX cabin filter, and WIX is a pretty good reputable brand when it comes to filters, so that says a lot for the ATP filter. Maybe if WIX also had a activated charcoal version than it would work just as similar as the ATP...

Nice find on the coupon! FYI, if you plan on ordering 2 filters, it's cheaper to order them from another vendor on Amazon: Pro Pick Parts. $27.96 ($11.19 x 2, plus $5.58 shipping) with shipping, less the $5 rebate = $22.96 for two. Hard to beat $11.48 OTD for that filter!! Too bad the coupon is limited to one per household.

The HA-5 is the model for the type S. The link provided by the OP is the correct one you are suppose to buy.

Just for anyone who is confused

HA-5 ATP FILTER WORKS FOR BOTH TYPE-S AND 04-08 BASE

Trust me, I have a 2008 TL and like I said, the ATP HA5 was the first cabin filter I ran in my car.

It's a CABIN FILTER. It makes no sense for Honda/Acura to make a different size cabin filter for the Type-S / Base.

Now if you are talking about a drop-in engine filter than a different size may be the case, but for cabin filter HA5 fits for BOTH Type-S and BASE.
