K&N air filter - real or fake
Has anyone bought a K&N air filter from ipmart (dot com)?
I'm not sure if it is real or fake. It is significantly cheaper.
Is there a way of telling?
I thought K&N is made in the US. But ipmart is sending it from China!

Thank you for any input.
Much appreciated.
I need a filter soon.
