no is a good awnser to all your questions.  the little engine only needs that black box and a K&N filter till you get into some hardcore mods.  a good mod for the 1.6 is a header and exhaust with a K&N.

Excellent advice Stu...

     Cones are really for street pieces (IMO), or light duty trail stuff. For the level of offroading most of the guys here get into I don't think they would be a great addition.

If you do go for a cone I'd say stick with K&N, I tried a few other manufacturers on my motorcycle and had to take them off every time it rained because they soaked up the water and strangled the intake, even when oiled. The K&N never gave me any problems. The downside is that the mesh on the cones is much coarser than stock so you are likely to get increased engine wear.
