I was up at the shop and saw a bunch of Napa Golds sitting around, they have been there a while so I decided to cut one open just to view, they dont fit any of our cars so they would have just sat around. Here you go for your viewing pleasure....
The filter media seems more thin and ridged than the Honda OEM filters I cut open, they are thicker and not so firm. Also, where the top metal endcap and the bypass valve meet its all metal on metal, doesnt seem like a good seal to me, but maybe it works? anyway here are the pics. If I didnt run Honda OEM oil filters then I would run Napa golds most likely.
