Default CAI kit, What are your recommendations ?

I'm getting a 2002 SS Camaro and I'm looking to add a CAI kit. I don't want to mod or cut anything on the install. I've been looking at the SLP - New from SLP, the "FlowPac™" combines our Cold-Air Induction Kit, High-Flow Air-Box Lid, F-Body Smooth Bellows, and Blackwing Air Filter to create a single, jointly engineered package worth up to 20 horsepower over stock. Save $30 over the cost of purchasing the parts individually!
My questions are as follows: Anybody buy one and using it ? Where does the metal induction box mount ?
I'm familiar with the lid, air filter and smooth bellows, just not the induction box.
I know this topic has been beat to death already, but I just thought I would ask again.

It mounts under the airbox assembly and extends down between the radiator and the ac/condenser. You have to cut out the bottom of the airbox and part of the radiator shield to fit it. I had one installed several years ago and it was a nice addition. 1/4 mile improved by 1 mph with it, so I guess it made power.

I just bought this kit and I love it, there is a little cutting but its nothing a pair of tin snips cant cure. The bellow slid on perfect, very clean, and pretty straight forward.

Tbyrnemotorsports sells for 279.00, I was going to buy but they were sold out as of xmas and SLP had winter shut down. So I called summit racing, they had it at a little higher price but then I asked for a price match, I gave them the site and for 280 something I got it shipped.

no its not just a Lid, its a Lid, a Air filter, and for good measure and has been proven to improve 1/4 et and mph the sheet metal duct.

All those seperate is the cost of the kit, the bellow is tossed in for free.

Unless someone doesnt care about the filter I guess they can cheap out and go paper, or stock replacement.
