yes, you can, i suggest to do a search, not only here, but also any major manufactuer of intakes, aem, injen, road race motorsports, a lot of people are going to give you crap for not searching but, since your new, im cutting you slack

thanks for the welcome. i usually do search for stuff on evom, but i skipped it this time. i did find a cai by injen for the 04+. but i was wondering about it b/c some sites said battery relocation was evident, but others didnt. and sry abt not searching.

ya youre lucky people are easing up on the search thing, 3 months ago this woulda been flame city 
Anyone who tells you theres a CAI for the auto is selling you a nice box of bull 
The battery and the auto tranny are in the way for the CAI. If you do the battery relocation im told you can snake one down there but id just say get the Injen/AEM/RRM short ram intake and if you REALLY want the cold air charge get the hood duct from RRM and install it just above the cone filter.

It's not the motor - it's the way the radiator hoses and such are arranged. Piping needs to be a bit different.
You can make a CAI easily. Or you can grab a cheap SRI. Or you can stay stock. No matter what, the intake won't add too much power. But I was very happy with my CAI.
