I didnt really notice a different sound though until I get close to around 2000 RPM though. Is this normal? I double checked all my hoses and clamps as reccomended. There was no whistling sound or rattling anything like that so I guess everything is secure and seated properly. I wish I had some before and after sound clips though just so you could see how different it sounds, but for those of you who have already installed a CAI other than stock can already testify and relate to what I am talking about. Thanks for all the help guys. I could not have done it without ya.
One quick question though for those who don't like oiled filters such as this one. Why would a Nissan dealership such as courtesyparts.com reccomend this intake above all others if problems with the oxygen sensor getting oily residue on it are supposedly so prominent? It would seem to me that user error is the biggest cause of problems such as this. Like oiling the filter too much or too often. My thinking would be that oil and the filter would not only help repel dirt but also moisture and water as well. I like the ideaology behind the oiled filter better.

Maybe they reccomended that intake so they can sell you a new sensor after yours fails from too much oil. lol
I went with AEM BRUTE FORCE so I wouldnt have to worry about the sensor, and when you close the hood it completes the box lid. When the hood is open it looks kool too.
