Thinking of getting one for my Accord Euro, but I dunno if it'll lead to any changes at all. Anyone have any experience with these filter??

Yep. they do a good job and u will feel a difference is pedal response.. but re-oil them after 10-15k's cause when they get dirty, they have a bad opposite effect.

In my experience throttle response has been better and inducton noise is slightly higher. no noticable performance gains.

I think the induction noise is only applicable for pod filter, not panel filter

Oh, and if you do get one, let me know, cause last time I checked they haven't imported the filter for Euro yet to Australia.

No this was the panel, hence my use of the "only slightly" description as opposed to "alot" for a pod.

I'm getting the filter for the Acura TSX, which also fits the Accord Euro. I doubt they'll have them in stock locally, so either way, it has to be imported.

direct K&N panel replacement filters are good. i've noticed a smoother acceleration after each gear change. i've heard you can't go wrong with it. although, if you go with a pod, unless it's correctly positioned it may suck in more hot engine bay air than fresh cooler air, otherwise, it has greater gains than a panel.

why not get the apexi panel filter?
no need to wash and oil, just use air gun to clean it.
