yes, You could open up the bottom of the stock box to let a little more air in. And its not hard to fab up a "ram air" tube. I used 4" flexible vacuum hose. some have used pvc pipe. either way it will help get cool air into the intake.

well the MIT could be a little longer but I got it to fit in the poring rain. Started it up and it ran just like be for. idles around 600rpm just like with the stock on. The Throttle response is a little better. Feels faster because you don't have to give it as much peddle to get it to speed up. From what iv read it gets better over 300 or so miles. There is still a hesitation when you give it gas because of the torque management. The MIT does have some drone that I do not like. its enough to over power the radio going up hill to maintain speed. but for now id say its a improvement thats worth it if you have the cash laying around.
