this is true as some use foam to seal which is not good enough they in my mind need to be sealed with a sealant like sikaflex just need to be carefull as some silicones can put of fumes that will play havoc, best bet is to leave the intake undone till it dries

I popped into British4WD while in Hobart a couple of months back. While I was there I had a look at that install, and spoke to Alan about it. He said that the original instructions were pretty ordinary, but he now provides some better ones based on the experience of his own installation.
He's a nice bloke to deal with - give him a call if you have any questions.
