Does any 3rd party make a cabin air filter for the CX-9GT?
How is this one?

Actually it seems very similar to the OE one. Maybe the OE one is OEM-ed from TYC as well.
Can't be sure, though.
Mazda OE has Mazda logo one it. As far as I can tell, that is the major different.
Those kinds of cabin air filter are basic filtering w/o carbon particle charged to remove odors (like those on expensive
luxury vehicles).
Sorry to revive an old thread, but i just thought i would share. I have been making my own cabin air filters for years by just cutting a regular home furnace 3M or similar air filter to the correct size. On my other vehicle i can get 6 filters out of a 20x30 Furnace filter. Considering the Furnace filter costs about $20, it's a significant savings for me. Haven't done this for my CX9 yet, but i have already looked at the factory filter and don't see anything that would pose a problem.

I have heard this a lot, many people are using normal home furnace filters and making their own cabin air filters along with many other filters, I never though it was a good idea, i always though that it would not work as well as the cabin air filters you can purchase however, I am now in a big financial crisis and no longer can afford to be purchasing everything. How well did this work?
Going to cut some out of a 3M furnace filter. Great Idea Veilside1!
Actually you can pick up a very good quality cabin filter at http://www.logical-source.com/2010-MAZDA-CX-9.html for just $3.91 each .. I just got 4 ....
I would not recommend this. I bought my replacement on Rock Auto for 10 dollars.
I change my furnace filter about every 2 months with the fan always set to run, not "auto."
The furnace filters get clogged quickly, and, thy begin to bow towards the suction, and will give at some point, at which point the motor ingests the filter, at which point a new motor is required.
While a car is not always on 24/7, still, get the 10 dollar part and be done with it.
