I don't think it would work at all on stock inlet even if you put something rigid inside because there is not a smooth 3'' surface to clamp over. Also, that one looks like it only uses a tire fitting to pressurize with; those are pretty annoying to work with. You need a standard air compressor quick connect so you can put your air hose directly onto the tester and a preset PSI and let it continuously fill with air while you search for leaks. The tire fill fitting only works if you have a 2nd person to continuously pressurize as needed.

TLDR - i would just build one.
I have a CTS intake.
