did you install your nitrous system, or did someone else?

its nearly impossible, but if it did went in, your engine should have got an instant death.

if someone did the NO2 install for you, most likely he took it off and left it somewhere.

I did the install myself but it was located in the flex tube not before the mesh screen. Though even when it was in the flex tube when I changed my drop in filter to k&n my stock filter looked burnt and was cracking into little pieces.(the soft pink cushion looking filter thing.) I'm guesing when I take it to wot and let off the gas completely the air back flushes with nitrous and could be the problem to the filter and most likely the mesh screen as well.

Did you pull your intake off the throttle body and check to see if it was wedged anywhere inside the intake tube or TB?

Yup, checked a couple of times. Can't find it anywhere. When I get to installing my mazsport turbo I'll check when I pull the manifold off for the injectors.
