    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

A.P.E. vs K.N.

I've been able to jet the same with either one so they breath about the same.
 
I have a set of each and can corroborate Chef that there is effectively no differences performance wise. The main difference is price. I got the APE's for $60 from Pingel and the K&N's ran me $150. Pretty easy decision that. The only real downside to the APE's (if you'd call it as such) is that the boot on the K&N effectively traps the clamp whereas the APE you have to be mindful of where the clamp is as you tighten it or the filter will walk itself off. If you click the 850 link in my sig and scroll down you will see a side by side comparo of the filters. As an amendment to the color situation in that post the filter material looks identical after cleaning and re-oiling them to the K&N filters. I've got about 1500 miles on them and absolutely zero complaints.
 
Thanks for the info, I ordered the APE filters this morning
 
"APE" type filters are sold by a few businesses..
i used to buy all mine from Don Plesser Racing....aka PR factory store...great guy!

these are by no means K&N's but they work very well for the money saved.
we called them "2-1/4" offset ovals".
