    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.

I have read in places that supposedly the APE pods are just re-branded K&N pods. Anyone know if this is true or not?
 
Not true. The APE filters are reputed to be high quality though.
 
I have heard this also but there are subtle differences i believe. Im pretty sure most people say this to make a comparison to quality instead of meaning they are actually the same
 
K&N are washable...
the look-a-likes are not(DO NOT OIL THESE).
great filters for the money diff.
APE/don plesser ect.. sells these filters.
the emgo chrome cones are the problem filters(5 bucks each) you get what you pay for.
 
hmmmmmmmm....
i have used and sold K&N/K&N clones/Uni/Imgo/V&H ect..
i speak the truth from a dealer/consumer standpoint.
they are not the same filters.;)
 
oh,
for the record.......
the K&N clones use an automotive style wide clamp and the filter rubber has no groove for the clamp.
K&N's use a narrow clamp and the rubber is molded to hold the clamp in place.
any other questions????:-\\\
 
I meant the K&N and APE pods

does the APE brand the chrome end cap?

just googled APE filters pictures..no branding on chrome cover.
the clones i speak of are sold by a few diff retailers..APE/Plesser/Cyclerama ect..

APE part # 005-121
