I call my local auto parts store, car quest.
You got wix filters in stock for a c6?
Sure.
Roll in to town, here ya go, plops a car quest filter down.
$3.50!
Um, that's not wix.
Yeah made by same folks. Hummel and Mann.
Research says that may have been true a few years back.
I took it because it was so cheap I will just keep it for a spare.
Ordered a proper wix xp filter. Stunning difference, the wix is probably 2x as heavy.
I now have to find another local parts store, again.
Grrrr
