I was skeptical at first, but we compared the filters and they are the exact same filter, only if they come from Pete the holes allready in it. Theyve sold em to the pete owners for a few years now with no problems.
If you gotta drill holes in them, then they aren't the EXACT SAME filter, now are they? :wink:
Just because they look similar, doesn't mean they are. The cheaper filter MAY not trap dust particles as well as the pricier filter. That is like comparing a Wal Mart oil filter to a FleetGuard oil filter - sure, they look similar, and they both filter the oil, but one does a better job.
I'll pay the extra $60 and go with the OEM filters, thanks. :wink:
