Then so much for the OP's (and others on this post) ticking noises. I am sure they are simply a figment of imagination, not possibly caused by a FRAM UG filter...
The point was if it's caused by the Ultra is not because it's "restrictive to flow", because it's not restrictive and probably flows better than most on the market. A positive displacement oil pump will supply the same volume of oil to the engine even with a more restrictive filter installed unless the pump hits pressure relief, which usually can't happen unless the engine is revved pretty high with cold oil, or the filter is totally clogged up and its bypass valve is super small causing the pump outlet pressure to rise and hit pressure relief (doubt that's the case here).
It's more likely caused by a ADBV that's leaking down over night. I asked the OP if he's hearing this every time the engine is started after sitting, but he's not responded.
