No you dont need to cut a hole. There is already one there. And to answer your air filter questions, you dont need to worry about buying a better one. The one that comes with the MAC kit is fine.

Like penceman, I also have a 98 and you didnt answer his question about the location of the cai. The filter is located next to the fender, so will the fender have to be cut to make a hole for the cai?
And a question of my own: Does the MAC cai setup come with a good filter like K&N or whatever or with a junky one that will need replaced with a good one?
There is no cutting of the fenger. It is on the inside of the fender between it and the black part in the wheel well

It's just a real beast to get the filter on the intake when its inside the fender. But oh well.

Remove the tire or use vasoline but be sure to wipe it off after

Removing the tire is too much work. I just wrestled with it for an hour till I got it on.

The stock setup is very restrictive. The idea of installing a CAI is to let more air flow. It ups the HP also. Not by a lot, but when you have a V6, every little bit helps. Also, it gives your car a better throttle response. I don't have the fender well setup. But mine does just as well. You can see a pic of my setup in my gallery. Click on the camera icon below my name to the left.
