In this video, I show how to install an Injen short ram intake on my 2014 Nissan Sentra with a few revs and a 0-60 at the end. This intake should fit on all 2013-2019 Sentras with the 1.8L (MRA8DE) engine, whether CVT or manual.
*FYI, I don't say this in the video, but make sure the bottom of the filter is about a 1/2 inch to 3/4 of an inch (about an index finger width) from the top of the fuse box. Reason being is so the filter isn't hitting the fuse box or bottom of the hood (thus causing a rather annoying sound) while the vehicle is in operation.

According to the link, this intake now costs around $270. Granted when I bought it, it cost around $240 but I still believe this intake is worth the price. (Also, there are other links out there that sell the same intake for less, just Google search)... *UPDATE (9/10/17): I just found out that the Injen intake is now priced at about $230 on the website. Also, there is a true cold air intake from AEM now available for the 1.8L B17 Sentras! Who knows, I might just buy it and do an install video on it..
Injen Intake Pros: Reasonably priced, looks great in engine bay, sounds great under acceleration, has reusable and durable air filter which doesn't require any oil and very easy to clean, intake very easy to install, personally noticed better throttle response and a bit better acceleration (so a bit more horsepower).
Cons: Personally noticed absolutely NO change in gas mileage whatsoever. (If driving conservatively, however, a slight gas mileage increase should be possible.)
*Note: Before I installed the intake, I was averaging 27.2 mpg. In the 0-60 clip at the end, it shows 28.9 mpg. Since then, I drove around 5,000 miles and the mpg returned back down to 27.2 and has stayed there since...
My verdict: Despite not seeing a gas mileage increase, the Injen intake is still worth the price because it's made well, looks and sounds good, improves performance, and NEVER needs the air filter replaced..
