Drop in airfilter options

Does anyone other than K&N make a drop in filter for the 4 cyl TSX? Preferably a dry (oil-less) type.

So, if these don't filter as well. What is the point in getting them and what is the risk to the motor?

^people have been running them for years. and no problems to engines.

they are marketed as "more flow = more power"
except the stock paper filter out flows the throttle body at WOT.

so in theory; you're not only letting in more air, but more particles in as well.
