Only at startup.

Yes but I punched a hole in the bottom to drain out the oil inside. I will be cutting it and posting it on here tommorrow.

It was ticking on every startup. 30+ seconds on the first start post oil change, then about 2-3 seconds every start up after. Yes filter was prefilled and lubricated thoroughly.

UPDATE: So now I drove the vehicle approximately 30 miles and let it sit for about 5 hours. This time: No start up noise whatsoever. I will start it tommorow morning. If it has any ticking at all, it is getting pulled and another Pureone or Fram Ultra will be replacing it. I am very dissapointed in this oil filter so far. I expect more than this from a company like RP.
