alta intake.. or in fact any good aftermarket cai would probably do

add a wooshy exhaust like alta or quicksilver and you got an almost jet engine!

Agreed.
The Alta is nice but also one of the harder intakes to install.
Don't worry about the noise.
If your wife notices the sound you can be sure she's pushing the car pretty hard. Normal putt putt driving you really can't hear much difference.
