Nope, they slipped right on. I almost bought the ones like you have and took the ProTeal method, but ended up finding my filters for a good price.
When I bought these, they were on sale. I think I paid $27 or so for everything--including shipping. That's why I jumped on them and posted this to the group.
They look pretty cool on the bike. The ones I got have the chrome caps that say K&N.
