It has the potential to set up an odd resonance and "hum" at idle if
you just block it off with the open element behind the taillight.

An airbox plumbed into the snorkel would be ideal, or at least an
airbox. Also do yourself a favor and dump the K&N(ancient) and get an
AEM dryflow synthetic membrane filter. K&Ns don't filter as well, and
are prone to over oiling and MAF contamination as a result. The dry
flow just gets washed and dried, no user error possible, with better
and more consistent filtering. Also the dryflow isn't flammable like a
K&N.
