Best Air Filter for '10 V6 Coupe

I would like to get an aftermarket/performance air filter for my '10 V6 Coupe.
It seems K&N is the most popular, please tell me the filter model number and the best place to get it from. I am not interested in a CAI. Thanks in advance.

So you want just a drop in air filter? Afe dry flo is the best as far as flow and filtering non oiled. Just look it up on google.

K&n filters are not that good.

Thanks, I went to AFE website and for my car they are listing a drop-in: Magnum FLOW OER PRO 5R Air Filter; Honda Accord 08-12 V6-3.5L
One is the Pro R
The other is Pro Dry S

If you wouldn't mind explaining, why did you suggest the dry one?

Less maintenance.

K&n has been outperformed by these new filters (amsoil etc) in both filtration and flow. K&ns actually filter better when dirty but then flow horribly .

Thanks G26,
So I should go for the Pro Dry S then? Is the AFE website the best place to get it from since I hate ebay?

I'm going to get the AFE Pro-Dry S, Part#31-10204. I did some research and found the following:

AutoAnything - $40.76 with free shipping.

Amazon - $51.94 with free shipping.

Do you know what else is good with the K&N? back in early 2000 I have bought a K&N drop in filter for my 1990 toyota corolla. At the time it had bought 100000 miles or so. Ten years later and double the mileage it has not let me down. It also save me a lot of money.
