TL;DR Genuine Subaru OEM fit for the 2008-2014 WRX and STI, confirmed by two independent sources for this exact generation. Single-layer paper media with no activated carbon layer; no service interval is disclosed.
This is the genuine Subaru OEM cabin air filter, part 72880FG000, for the 2008-2014 WRX and STI. It uses single-layer pleated paper media with no activated carbon, so it captures particulates and pollen but not odors. A Subaru specialist retailer and Subaru's own OEM parts catalog both confirm this part for the 2008-2014 WRX and STI.
Right pick for a 2008-2014 WRX or STI owner wanting the exact factory part, either trim. Skip it if odor control matters; a carbon-layer filter is better for that.
Passive paper filter with no chemical exposure pathway during installation. The cardboard frame recycles if separated; the soiled media is mixed waste at service end, with no take-back program.

Yes, for both the base WRX and the STI. This genuine Subaru part number is confirmed for the 2008-2014 model years by a Subaru specialist retailer's fitment listing and by Subaru's own OEM parts-catalog fitment table.
No. This is a standard single-layer paper filter for particulate and pollen capture only. It does not have an activated carbon or odor-absorption layer, so smells and VOCs pass through.
Yes. This carries the genuine Subaru part number and is sold by an authorized Subaru parts reseller, the same part used for cabin air filter service at a Subaru dealership.
Yes. Unlike the front brakes, where the STI's Brembo package differs from the base car, the HVAC housing and cabin filter are shared across both trims for this generation.
No specific mileage or month interval is published on this listing. Check your vehicle's own maintenance schedule for the recommended replacement interval.
Behind the glovebox. Owners commonly report needing to detach the glovebox damper strap and push in the side hatches to swing the box fully open before the filter housing is accessible.
Marketing copy from Subaru, via Amazon. Not editorial.
Per manufacturer cross-reference, not a physical test fit. A single generation often forks by engine, trim, and market.
