silvertop engine yes? not much you can do to be honest mate, if it was a blacktop the you could have fitted a s1 rallye inlet but not meant to give a great gain, only option you have is a custom one, which wouldnt really be worth it depending on your spec?

having same dilemma, need to get rear lowered and exhaust system sussed. Sorted the air intake; not much you can do with the inlet manifold due to the plasticy nature of it can't be bored.
And you mentioned a rattle- got same problem. car's draked with 60mm drop on front n standard back. mine sounds like bearing rattle but can't find what it is
