It seals well enough. It is a heat shield not a heat box. The main point of it is to prevent huge waves of from heat soaking the intake. It does not have to be 100% enclosed. Besides you're pulling in more then enough "cold" outside air to compensate for the little amount of hot air that might seep in. BTW, the stock airbox is really restricting.
