umm....i dont know what u would call this...
fab up a thin, yet strong, sheet of sheet metal and place it under the airbox and a little bit out from it as to help seal out mud/water/snow....i dunno...better...i guess this would be an good idea for u folks with the airbox mod....kinda keep stuff from gettin in the air box as easily...
the yellow is where the metal would be...this could be secureed down without drilling or anything...i guess...if you can extend it under the airbox itself, and when u push down on the box like u are installing it, have i kind of clamped between the metal bracket and the airbox.....
top view:
maybe you could even extendit to the side of the airbox to further more keep out bad stuff and maybe block some engine heat...
side view:
just an idea i came up with while bored as crap at work yesterday...

well...i'm paranoid about gettin water in the engine...and when i go rootin or thru a carwash...stuff always gets onthe airbox...and in logic...if it gets ON the box, i could get IN the box...so i switched back to my stock box with snorkel.....
which made my exhaust louder and especially noticeable on hard downshifts....??

ummm.....i dont understand the question
but no, it wont prevent the crap from gettin in the engine bay, and it is very exposed, but at least u can try to protect the airbox from the stuff.....no good suckin in water and etc...
and i know its not waterproof and air tight...unless u so decided to make it that way, but if u go thru a huge puddle for ex, the water could splach into the engine bay and some get in the air box, at least this would make it a little harder for that to happen...
of course with my snorkel in the chances are ven slimmer of this happening, but still....just a precaution...

I wouldnt be so worried about it unless you didn't have an air filter in it. It has to go through that before it reaches your engine. Besides, It would take more than a splash to fill that air box up with water.
Try throwing buckets of water at your passenger side head light and tell us the outcome

i guess maybe to even the air out a bit b4 it hits the MAF sensor....who knows...
phil...did u hijack someone's zoom-zoom to take a pic of the engine...haha
i was lookin at it and was like "damn...his engine is pretty darn clean....wait...i've got those same spark plug wires...wait...his intake is like mine....wait...so is the intake manifold..THIS ISNT PHIL'S TRUCK!!!"

But to be serious, www.ssd4u.com is the website(i think) and they're really great price! Only charged me 10 dollar shipping to Alaska from New York when they should have charged me more!
