It's not that uncommon to see wavy filter media so that alone does not make a filter bad, The problem with VIC is they still use a very old style of cellulose for there filters with a low efficiency rating and compared to others it is very thin.

You can see what I mean here. VIC still uses the same stuff as OEM which is just as inefficient.





Compare that to modern filters with modern cellulose blends



Very big difference vs VIC





VIC's are cheap for a reason.
