best solution IMHO, will be to fabricate some kind of a fiber glass box with multiply layers and isolation material.
not an easy job, especially when a lot of people (just like JFP) say it will result without significant results (if at all) in performance.
on another hand we have this thread:
Finally: Dyno charts of de-snorked 986S!!!

also check out this tread, and have a look at post # 127, might give you some ideas.
The aftermarket intakes come with a plastic shield/box .
