This is an excellent post for comparing the filters. I would have no issues running the Mahle filter, but not sure about the Wix.

I agree, this is a very informative post and it's fun looking at the differences in the filters for example.
MANN owns WIX. I used to run WIX filters in my Jeeps, they were my favorite made in the USA. I recently picked up a WIX and MANN cabin filter off Amazon and in my opinion I like the WIX design better than the MANN because it has a outer foam seal, pretty sure it said it was made in Germany on the box. After doing some research I realized MANN+HUMMEL bought WIX and they have factories all over the world, from North Carolina to Germany and even China!
Ludwigsburg (Germany), May 4, 2016 – MANN+HUMMEL today announced that they have finalized their acquisition of the global filtration operations of Affinia Group, manufacturer of the WIX and FILTRON brand of filters.
