A called Velocity Sport Tuning to order my K&N filter a few days ago.  They had
just received a shipment of ABT filters.  Basically the same thing, but claimed
to flow a little better.  (And they're blue and yellow instead of black and
white...)  They're typically more expensive than K&N, but they're having a
sale, and you can get them for less than the K&N (which is usually $45, I
think).

Also, you can clean the ABT filter with the K&N cleaning kit.

Just passing it on,

P.S.  I've heard stories that removal of the air-tube-extension in the top of
the stock airbox, plus the addition of a free-flow (K&N or ABT) filter gives
comparable gains to the P-flo, without the extra noise.  ...FWIW...
