To quote Yello, "Oh Yeah". Far better than the OEM replacement and half the price. This is definitely the cabin air filter you want for your Genesis.
It's electrostatically charged and has an activated charcoal layer.
Check the thread title. Duh!Brand and part number?

Purolator is a shipping company. I googled the name and come back empty handed. I was expecting something like filter manufacturer and part number. Thank you
Sorry folks, I could blame it on age or laziness, take your pick. In the USA, it's available at Advance Auto Parts stores http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/purolator-cabin-air-filter-c36067/10563784-P and for those elsewhere (assuming Hyundai has the same filter all the DH Genesis sedans they make for world market) Amazon has it http://www.amazon.com/Purolator-C36067-BreatheEASY-Cabin-Filter/dp/B00U1OKQ5O
It's so much cheaper than the filter for my Sonata which is just treated paper like the OEM filter for it and the Genesis, it could be mis-priced. I bought three.

Purolator is now owned by MANN+HUMMEL, and they have plants all over the world.Read the label - the last time I did that on the Purolator Oil filters - it read "made in India".
If that's what you want - then go for it.

Interesting, but where did you find the specs for that especially the part about it being an electro-static filter and did you find an specifics on the particulate side.
The other oft mentioned filer is the Fram CF 10735 and the fol is all I could find on the specs/features of each ...
FRAM Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter CF 10735 :
-With Arm & Hammer® Baking Soda
-Premium Efficiency - Filters 98% of dust, pollen, and other contaminants from 5 microns
-Odor Absorption - Arm & Hammer® baking soda combined with carbon embedded into the filter assist in cleaning outside air flowing through the vehicle's ventilation system.
Purolator C36067:
-Catches microscopic pollutants like soot, smog, and tobacco smoke Activated charcoal eliminates odors and unhealthy gases Particular layer restricts entry of large airborne particles into the A/C system like dust, pollen, mold spores and fungus Multi-Layer Protection Better Breathing for non-allergy and allergy sufferers Clean smelling air.
While the Fram specs are not that specific the TOTAL LACK of any detailed info as to precents, filtering size on the Purolator filter often means that the "lack of specifics tells one those aren't so great!" and maybe things are so great as the generalities want you to believe.

It's just a cabin air filter.
Besides, there is a lot of misunderstanding about HVAC filters. The ones that trap the most particles usually have a higher pressure drop, and may be too inhibiting of the air flow of the HVAC system, and cause damage or inefficiencies of the system.
This happens many times for HVAC systems in homes when people use very high MERV (or FPR) rated filter. The return air system is usually not designed large enough for a highly restrictive filter.
The best thing one can do is change the cabin air filter often, with an OEM spec filter. If you smoke inside the car, there may be some advantage to a higher quality filter, but you must change it very often since it restricts air flow in order to capture smoke particles, and the longer you keep it in there, the more restrictive it gets.
Here is an air filtration tutorial for homes, but the same principles apply to a car.

My main point is that it is just a cabin air filter. Let's not get carried away with about how much better one filter is than another. I personally don't smoke, don't cook inside my car, and don't have pets in my car, so it is not going to matter much what kind of filter I put in. I am reasonably careful to change my setting to "recirculate" when I see smoke or dust ahead of me on the road.I don't see how that applies here as long as the aftermarket filter manufacturer is saying it meets or exceeds OEM specs. Now if you don't believe them aftermarket manufacturer that's another issue altogether and one would be hard pressed I think to proven that. We're not talking about generic filters, but ones made for a specific application so things like flow rates, etc. have to meet the OEM specs if the OEM has even spec'd that characteristic and if they haven't then they have no standing to question if you are using the correct filter.
I guess I'm jiust of the school that if a product has a real positive characteristic then 99.99% of the time the manufacturer will clearly include that in their marketing and if it's absent then it probably is not a positive for their product. This is why I questioned if the Purolator was really an electro-static filter and what they mean when the say reduces "LARGE" whatevers. You notice Fram proudly in almost every add tauts their 5 micron and use of baking soda (a know order absorber) in their filter which they feel are positives.
