Default Alternative "dry" cone filter for K&N FIPK

Bought a used K&N FIPK intake a few months ago.
I'm not into recharging K&N filters so I'm looking for an alternative replacement dry filter.
I also read about silicone build up caused by the oil used to recharge so don't wanna risk that being in my engine.
Any recommendations?? Brand & model #??
Thanks in advance for your help & input(s)!

I used a Fujita dry cone filter on mine. Washable and works great.

EDIT: this one here:

The Apex-i Power intakes are some of the very best available when it comes to the actual filtration of the dry filters. The Fujita F5 series is excellent as well and were being made from the same basis as the Apex-i filter, almost identical in manufacture. But Fujita formerly F5 AIR was acquired by a European umbrella of companies and there were no more US dealers, it is unknown if they are actually still in production or not, and the supply seems to vary, they are great filters and are very affordable, you can buy new old stock filters on ebay but who knows how much longer that may last. Their only current presence is fujita-intakes.ro but is seemingly inactive. Buy one if you can find them, dry filters are the way to go, oiling does nothing but make a huge mess and is only useful for severe offroading in extremely dusty situations, street cars have no need for oiled filters.

You have quite a few choices of good dry filters, you will be good with any of these.

Fujita F5
Blitz SUS
AFE
