Two Things:

Was the filter dirty? Slightly or really bad?

Can you post a link to (or re-post) exactly which set of instructions you followed? I have seen different versions and I'm not sure which one is best.

after 14,000 miles it was very dirty.

I just changed mine last week. It wasn't full of debris or anything, just black, and the new one was grey. I would advise everyone to swap their's out yearly.

Changed mine with all of the info from another thread. Thanks to all who posted. It was not that difficult and took about 25 mins. Hardest part for me was releasing the arm, the clips are easy if you lift the glove box first then twist a bit while turing to pull out.
After 2 years (24,000 Km) it was really dirty. It should really be changed yearly as mentioned in the OM.

Just changed mine at 13900, quite a bit of debris.

Here's a photo after the third wack on top of the dryer (the first two had more stuff):

I think if you park outside, it gets worse. I just dealt with the one on my aunts Lexus ES350, and it smelled like mildew and was full of leaves. I vacuumed it, sprayed it with Lysol, ran the fan full blast and sprayed lysol in the intake vents near the windshield wipers, then replaced the same filter cause I didn't have a new one.

I've gone on line to find an air filter and a cabin filter for my Genesis 2011 3.8 and they range from $7 and up on the air filter and $15 and up for the cabin filter. where did you go to purchase yours? The auto stores available to me like O'Reilly's and Auto Zone are such rip offs. Help.
Thanks.
