I've used them a few times with no problems at all.

Mann is an OEM supplier.

Just curious, why would someone pay for a Porsche filter at 3 times the cost for the same part?

If you're still under warranty and CPO it's a good idea to use OEM if you DIY for service/maintenance. Why give Porsche an opportunity to dispute a warranty claim. Afterwards it's still a good idea to use OEM essential parts such as water pump, radiators, etc. Of course, some OEM parts like spark plugs and coils are available from non p-dealers like Pelican parts for considerably less.
