Got mine yesterday and installed them. Took about 2 hrs (Took my sweet *** time) and I didn't take off the strut bar. No problems at all. 
A couple of notes: In a couple of the steps, I have no idea why, they have the driver and passenger sides mixed up. A minor pain in the *** at most, just follow the pictures.
I found installing the breather hoses easier by removing the plastic parts from the car, connecting the parts to the new breather hose, and installing each intake tube complete with all of these hoses/parts attached.
Also, I wrapped the intake tubes with good 'ol kitchen plastic wrap before trying to move them into place. Worked really well to keep the paint from scratching.
The sound? Noice! At idle and normal driving, the sound isn't noticeable. But when you get to about 3500 rpm you can notice there's something different, a bit deeper sound. At WOT, it howls like a raped ape! Didn't notice any whistling or anything like that.
Oh, and are these filters washable? If so, how do you wash them? Never dealt with air filters like these before.

Took my Z to my buddies shop he did it in 1 hr 5 mins.. and it looks and sounds awesome. I can feel a better air flow giving it a bit quicker response and the exhaust got louder too..(Nismo exhaust)!!!

yeah on the 5/8th tubing the passenger side is the 2" not the 1.75" and vice versa
actually i found that both sides would work with the 2" tubing but the driver side might need a slant cut on the charge pipe side

I want one of these in my Z, its a 08. I am sure the fit is the same, but do they throw off any CELL warnings? I know some said no but after putting on a few hundred miles maybe weather changes or anything in that nature.
