Default Who make jk drop in faom air filters?

Is there anybody out there that makes a drop in "FOAM" air filter.
I have used True Flow in the past for my other vehicles but I see on their site they only have the XDi system for the JK.
I do know that k&n makes a drop in but there filtration also sucks...
Green mean or mean green makes one too but it looks like all they did was change the color of the k&n filter.
Any knowledge would be greatful.

I have the drop in K&N filter and it works great. I have heard the poor filtration argument before, but IMO if you keep the filter clean and oiled properly it will do the job just fine. I don't need some hypoallergenic filter for my Jeep, whatever super tiny particles can get through are not going to hurt anything. Plus, I gained about 1-2 MPG with the new K&N. The only place I found that had an actual replacement filter (this was about a year ago) for the JK was the dealership and they wanted like $30-$40 for it. So I bought the K&N online for less than $60 and it is good for a million miles. I know this probably doesn't help you much since you don't like the K&N, but I thought I would just give my opinion on the subject.

Ya don't really like that dealership anyway, but last year about this same time I went in to ask about it and that's the price they told me. The guy behind the counter actually admitted that a K&N would probably be a better way to go (in his opinion). Maybe the price has gone down since then.
