Yep. The whole "change the intake" mantra comes from cars that are initially designed as econobox family movers where they are incredibly restricted and sucking in hot engine bay air. These cars are not designed with those issues so a nice drop in is all you need.
Unless of course you want the bling factor since many do clean up the engine bay nicely.
