Default GMPP intake require cutting the cowl?

For the people using the GMPP intake and an elbow do you have to cut the cowl to make it fit?

Depends on if your motor is in the stock location or not. If you move the motor back at all you will have some fitment to work with, but it's minor.

If you buy an elbow you may have to machine the flange down 3/4" to get some more hood clearance. On the White Stenod Formula the elbow fit with no cutting. On Kyle's car I just got done putting a hole through the top of the hood so you can see the Precision Turbo and Engine logo in the elbow from outside the car. Looks pimp! Just kidding.....

On Harlan's car he has a Firehawk hood which has some additional structures on the underside that we had to notch. No big deal though. Worse case scenario is you can get a custom elbow that has a smaller profile to it that should work. Reichard Racing makes one that you can look at.
