Moose,
I bought my setup complete from LG (forum member)....he had it professionally fitted out by 'Temby's Autos' near his place....basically the hole where the stock / XR6T snorkel goes has to be enlarged to fit the larger SS snorkle.....the new larger hole is screwed in over the section of the box that was enlarged.
Airtight - most definately - was a right PITA pushing it in to make it fit.....all sealed off with some cushioned foam...
My setup also has a bellmouth in the airbox lid to increase airflow....this was installed by Jim Mock when LG took his car there, and is not part of the standard SS setup
But like I've said before, there's no way I would have gotten the SS stuff if I had to pay full RRP for it....I got this full airbox, airbox lid & snorkle setup for a lot less than what you pay for just the snorkle itself!
I wasn't interested in getting a Bluepower or G&D box, partly to keep stock(ish) appearance under the hood, but also because as I don't have an XR, the gains those boxes provide would be somewhat wasted on my car, the standard headlight doesnt draw as much air in as the XR's do, my car wouldn't utilise it as much!
For starters, just go the XR6T snorkle while you decide if you want to do anything else with your air intake.
