The following unofficial cross reference data is information gathered about air filters from various brands. Any listing with a date code is data taken from an actual in-hand air filter unless otherwise described in notes. If there is no date code listed, it is general information taken from somewhere online and information like the country of origin should be viewed with even more skepticism. The "Check" date is when the air filter information was last checked, but when this information is based on a real-world example with a date code, it won't necessarily reflect any current changes. If a date code says "None", that means it was in hand but no date code was found, even when checked with UV light. If you see a part number multiple times, it is because multiple examples have been checked, so changes may be noted.
For Subaru OEM#: 16546AA12A & 16546AA120

Do Performance Air Filters Actually Work? by Engineering Explained
Jason from Engineering Explained uses his Subaru Crosstrek XV as a platform to test engine air filters. This video tests a used Subaru 16546AA12A, a new Subaru 16546AA12A, a new CarQuest, and a new K&N 33-2304.
