It DOES require thought. (you don't just drop a lunch style paper bag around it and cal it a day, and you DO have to measure to get correct fitment) Also, who said it wasn't going to be completely sealed off? I mean, that is the general idea to block off ALL engine heat. And if it is not completely 100% sealed, it would still draw more air from the fender ducting than from the engine heat. (so to make it easy....It's not going to make a significant amount of difference)
