I think you guys are over doing it a bit. I actually purchased that kit for my last car. Overall I'd say it was worth the $30. The MAF adapter fits a 3" filter and you need to trim the air temp sensor a bit to get it to fit snug. The finish on the metal is of poorer quality but I could live with it. It came with everything needed except for a good filter but I still ran that one for almost a year without one problem.
Personally it is a good intake setup for someone on a tight budget.
EDIT:
I found a picture of my old engine bay, don't laugh too much, even though I'm laughing at myself right now at how chitty my engine bay looked
