lexmaul are rare as far as i know...
manzel are also rare
d-bilas is meant to be the best
but you can get mantzel inlet copys off here which are just as good

erm off the top of my head i think the d-bilas is like 10-12 bhp
not worth the money, save up for a redtop if u want power mate

i think warren did a quick review on these and said, with a 421, decat and stainless system the lexmaul wasnt much better than the standard inlet. I got a lexmaul from germany and it made a noticable difference but i only had a filter and backbox

dunno, never looked into cams myself but you will be looking in and around £500 plus the remap, alot of money when as stated before you can just get an XE. Throttle bodies will be over a grand aswell. unless you are serious about doing a highly tuned 1.6 there is no point.

If you can get twin 40's to work well on the X16XE then go for it! Will be much more hassle, but less expensive than tb's.
