Somebody should tell those Chinese manufacturers of filters. AutoBlog reported on an estimated $45 billion in counterfeit auto parts sales in China in 2011 (not just filters, but predominantly PM items like filters, plugs, brake pads, etc). The US FTC estimated sales of $12 billion in 2013, not just from China.
One significant issue was resolved by Mann some years back. All filter companies face ongoing challenges with counterfeiters.
