You don't have to cut a hole. The V2 is made to fit your car, not made for your car needto adapt to it.
And don't pay someone to install that stuff. It's pretty simple to install them both. No special tools needed.

I would go with the intake, I bought my car used with both, but I'm pretty sure you don't need to cut a hole, it just fits neatly behind the bumper.

The hole in the bumper serves two purposes:

1. It allows you to easily remove and replace the filter for cleaning.
2. You can see how dirty the filter is as any time.

If you haven't installed an intake or exhaust before and have no one to show you, have it done by the shop, especially for those prices.
