   Yes that's correct, the slam panel is what your bonnet locks into. Personally though I would find a standard cold air feed for a few quid bolt it on and connect up the piping fom the filter. It's gotta make more sense then butchering the slam panel!!

   or not!
   
   go to the scrap yard and get the standrad part of the air filter that fits onto the slam panel and attach the pipes from the end of the BMC to that.

    i just ran the front of the bmc with no feed
    not sure why but mine ran better with no feed (was testing things on a dyno)
    
    best bet is trial and error with a few things
