Question Standard or carbon charged filter?

What's the difference between the regular oem cabin filter and the carbon charged oem cabin filter? Does the carbon charged cabin filter work that much better and is it worth the difference in price?

I am sure it's been answered and I'm going hunting but I would like to know as well.

I find that the carbon filters make a difference on some odors, not others. Some foul odors come through regardless, even on my Benz.

The GG filter that I use on the G seems constructed much better than most others and I've been happy with them.

I'd say, if it cost more than $20 more than the non-carbon filter, it's not worth it unless filtering efficiency and flow are improved as well.
