I dont think so... Either way it doesnt give that much of a gain..

the gain can be decent, or you can lose (a few people made less with just the open filter in the engine compartment drawing in hot air)

I agree, like take for example the tpi cars they k&n dont make an intake for them (last i looked) because the car sucks the air before the radiator even gets a chance to get to it, it is practically a cold air intake from the factory if you put the cai in the engine bay it would suck hot air up, imo same goes for the 4th gens the air is gettin forced in before it gets into the engine bay. so i agree with arch.

Im not sure where the filter is on the 3rd gens, but at least inside the fender -if you have that plastic piece removed, its drawing air from under the car

From what i remember the tpi's came with 2 square filters and they draw from under the car.
