I took out all the baffles and sealed the box to the hood using that thick black weatherstripping. I have gone through some major storms and so far no waters has made it through the filter. I'm using an oiled filter, a Holley Powershot (a must with this mod) and also have a clear lid (piece of mind being able to check the seal and if water has entered.) When you seal it yourself you probably don't get the pressurization like you would with the BGRA but at least you're not pulling any air through the engine bay.
