Answer 2

The other answer got it pretty good. I was going to add they are not chrome or polished.

Answer 3

Depends on what supercharger you use. If it's a roots blower, it sits on top of a special supercharger intake manifold, which goes on top of the engine block, connected to the cylinder heads. If it's a centrifugal supercharger, it connects to the manifold by a pipe or directly, and can sit just about anywhere in the engine bay.
