thanks. after driving some more today the weird noises stopped. my friend who installed it said that it could have been the computer learning the new airflow. Anyhow, no more weird noises... just pure roar!
if I could describe the increase in "loudness", i would say something around 1.5x-2x as loud as stock... 8)

After installing yesterday, just checked under the hood today and the CAI is sitting nice and snug, nothing loose. There is already a bit of discoloration on the blue filter (brownish) but that is probably just the dirt it's filtering. Fortunately this filter can be cleaned with water.
It made my car so much louder... it's like a lion's roar when I accelerate .
I've noticed my speed/anticipation ratings have gone down since I put the CAI in, but haven't tracked actual avg mpg yet. I will on next fill up and let ya'll know.

Thanks again to Gandalfthegreyfocus and her bf for helping me! I could never had don it without you! (seriously)
