That stainless "CAI" actually raised my IAT readings
substantially when I installed it. It also shrouds the
condenser badly. I only use the upper couple of inches,
hacked off the rest and made custom air path to the
nose-pocket instead. With the "nostrils" relieved of
styrofoam, my IAT readings are back to near-ambient.
Kit is a big rip-off. Only the lid is worth anything, and
it's worth no more than any other.

Just get the lid, the bellow and filter aren't worth the extra $230 or so. I had the SLP lid on my old SS and I just put one on my otherwise stock SS today, good first little mod, definitely feel a difference in throttle response.

i've had my slp cai for maybe 7 years with no problems. the air filter is much dirtier above the cai so i know its working. i didnt want to take on water if it rains so i didnt go with the ssra.

I ran the SLP lid and a ches1313 non AC ram air (the big one) for years and never had any issues. It was my daily driver and went through so e pretty substantial down pours of rain. South Louisiana... You get the picture.
Never an issue with water ingestion. Unless you drive the car into a lake, I don't see it happening.
And for the hotter coolant temps some folks will say, I had an LT1 radiator with a 160 stat and she stayed nice and cool, even in bumper to bumper traffic. Just have the fans tuned accordingly to come on at a lower temp.
