The piping will definitely be different since the intercooler sits on top of the engine still but without the hood scoop.

Even if it did work, the OEM parts would probably cost 3X the cost of a good aftermarket unit, with both voiding the powertrain warranty.
Almost exactly what I was trying to say.
