Default Cabin Air Filter Recommendation?

I don't care about the price as long as its uner $100, but I want the best Cabin Air Filter (the one behind the glove box) that will work on a 2004 Lexus RX no nav. I looked on line and there so many types. I can't stand auto fumes, pollen, etc.

Thanks

Is their an ionic air filter. lol

One more question is does the Cabin Filter filter all air or just air for the AC or while in non recirculate mode?

$100?! wow.
I see that on Rockauto you can get the Denso filter which is a charcoal filter for around $30. That should be pretty high level good already to remove all particulates and absorb some fumes. I don't know exactly what is the corresponding OEM part numbers so you could potentially buy the filters cheaper from sponsers sewell or carson.

If you're willing to spend $100, you can just change the filter more frequently?

For "ionic air filters", if you believe that these devices are worth it and actually do help, there should be a variety of devices on the market that you can plug in inside your car to clean the air from the inside.

Even if you filter incoming air, perhaps your sensitivity is caused by random chemicals being emitted by the leather/carpets etc etc.

I just bought one from this Lexus dealer in Sacramento, CA that offered the lowest price for OE filters:
