K&N sent me the email on last morning Saturday. Let's change.
My car is EX.

Nice. I was wondering when they would make one for the 2.0. Time to change the one in my EX also =)

Please share any perceived performance gains.
Anything for EX-T? I couldn't find any.

That's all what I know. I confirmed my engine is stronger a little bit. There is no oil on the air filter.

Probably better airflow but also you need to keep in mind that its a lot worse in preventing dust and other particles from entering so its a trade off. Honestly, I see it more as a marketing thing but this filter is reusable unlike those one and done Honda OEM ones so *shrug*. I'll be placing an order for it this weekend.

Is dust more harmful for direct-injected engines compared to port-injected engines?

Did you have any issues removing the housing for the air filter to install it? I undid the two clips on the sides but I can't seem to open it up.

it should be stuck somewhere. Try to shake it the housing.

I just dropped in a new K&N panel filter and found immediate improvement to throttle response and gas mileage. The engine feels more free to rev.

May it be stuck somewhere?
By the way, the intake air is finally released for 2.0L. Does it worth? I mean the Summer is coming, and the directed x2 hot air will not good for our engines.

True. Far less filtering efficiency than OEM. OEM has plenty of excess flow rate. Waste of money. A lot of people succumb to the "aftermarket = superior to stock" fallacy. The stock air filter does not restrict air flow enough to matter.
