Well if its a big deal to you, use a 3 inch hole saw, drill a hole in your hood, and 90 a intake straight off the throttle body through the hood.
No intake is completely sealed off, but the "heat shields" block most air and probably pull 70-80% of the air from the outside.
Heres the afe, it blocks most of the air from the engine compartment

Keep an eye on the PS hose righ here. Mine chaffed a little in about a week. I tweaked the metal heatshield. and covered the hose with the plastic ribbed wire cover.

I'm not even going to get an exhaust now; the way the engine sounds on acceleration with the intake redone is good enough for me.
