Not really. Better than cutting a hole through the bumper, but I wouldn't expect much better performance. Maybe you get a bit more dynamic pressure converted that isn't flowing through the radiator, but you lose some of that to bleeding off the edge and you get more turbulence in the inlet. I honestly haven't actually done a real analysis on this car, but having some experience in airflow (I'm an aeronautical engineer by education), it seems like the inlet was pretty well optimized for the current solution. This MIGHT change if you were to reduce pressure in the engine bay by way of vents and the like. Then you might benefit from a more direct intake snorkel.
