Default Who makes a good replacement air filter (OEM replacement; not K&N)?

Should I just grab one from my local stealership, or is there an equvilent (or better) OEM replacement filter sold at places like AutoZone? TIA.

I think OEM is the best bet.

Default ECS sells the Mann brand (same as OEM but without the Audi logo). Wix sells one that used to be a

repackaged Mann filter, but the last one I saw was made in Mexico (IIRC). Purolator makes one, if you are in a pinch. I would order via the web from ECS, Clair parts, etc. and get a Mann brand. Purolator is the only one that you could get at AutoZone or the like. (advance auto parts in my area carries Purolator, but I would say not quite as good as the Mann one)
