Yes. all intakes are a simple tubing and a filter.
the performance really depends on the filter though
If you went and bought a ebay intake and slapped a AEM or KNN filter on it, you would probably get the same hp. (but i wouldnt do that because i want to support a company not just get a copy of a name brand)
and people with auto trannys usually do it for the sound because thats about all they will get out of it...
