Do you have a pic of your engine bay?

Maybe that could help us help you.

Cause I don't know about everyone else but I'm having a hard time picturing the problem.

I can say that some people have taken fresh air intake filters and mounted them dirctly to the air intake with a foam air cleaner cover.

never heard them run though so I couldn't tell you how good it worked for masking the sound.

Maybe you should go with a Pete Jackson gear drive timing unit
