Default Apexi Pod Filter

I just installed my apexi pod filter last night and i was told that i need to cover the pod filter with an aluminum sheet just under the bonnet vents.
is this really necessary? or can i just leave it as it is?

cheers guys

running one too....but your vents should have the backing plate underneath which is more than enough to protect it from water etc..
