The "Seibon" is a CF hood. Which one are your talking about? There are the vented ones and non-vented ones. The ones that are the "Top Secret" type vented hoods, have a vent very near where the FIPK would be and this would present a problem with water getting into the filter.

Correct. It seals with a rubber gasket to the underside of the hood.

Get a different intake, that vent is going to be very close to the filter. Go with the Comptech, it'll match the hood.
