single port has more restrictive airflow than splitport your car has splitport setup actually 99+ are all splitport engines

Yes, you will, the TB on the 94-98 comes directly out of the upper intake and forms a roughly 90 degree angle, the 99-04s come directly off the intake and form a 60 or so degree angle, so the upper end of the pipe, or the one that connects to the tb would have to be changed.
