FRAMS are good, too but 5 bucks more.I don't know about the K&N washable for cabins (prefer disposable), but I have it in my intake box.

In my opinion, cabin filters don't need to be super high tech or expensive as they are simply a disposable filter for air. Obviously you don't want THE cheapest option and risk it falling apart or not filtering well, but you don't need to go OEM or expensive either.
These are the ones I use and they have worked out just great
Personally I wouldn't bother with a washable cabin filter since they are so low price and easy to swap out in minutes. The intake filter on the other hand I am in favor of the washable ones there.

i had a K&N reusable one for my old vehicle and never used it on the basis of a lot of fore mentioned reasons above
i recently swapped mine and noticed the OEM one has charcoal (mostly for smells from what i recall) and look like this:
i used to get really bad allergies when i went to college and in general living in SoCal, you can make your own and from one of these, you can make about 2-3 Filters:
i use the 1500 and its effective:
theres even better ones if your kids, family, passengers, etc. got real bad seasonal allergies:
i also added a charcoal filter to mine so will report back in a few months on its effectiveness

Two people commented they use these filters. I have a 2016 200 F Sport, and Amazon says it won't fit.
Will it actually fit? Thanks.

i use this one by ecogard which has activated carbon and have been pretty happy with its performance. i mean, then again, i probably could have dropped a five dollar filter in and not noticed a difference.

activated carbon filters are far more commonplace than charcoal-containing filters. a quick search on amazon only showed one filter that contains charcoal that fits our cars and it wasn't rated very highly amongst the plethora of activated carbon filters that fit the IS range of cars. i think you may be thinking of activated carbon.
