I've been reading this board for a couple months dreaming about my own L and finally I am going out of state, by Greyhound if you can believe it, tomorrow to pick up a red 99 with 4400 mi. I have noticed so many of you are very experienced with different modifications. I am wanting to keep mine mostly stock but want to add a chip, maybe the R9.
I also want to keep the stock airbox for looks and I would rather not add a MAF. My question is do you think putting a K&N filter in and drilling holes in the underside of the box will be enough extra air for te new chip.
I really am not going to be taking it to the track or anything like that but you all have convinced me that it runs so much sweeter with a chip. Thanks very much, I have really found myself addicted to this board

 

Sorry about the triple posting.
