if you were going to buy a new intake, why would you choose the ipd over the pedro's and vice versa? not necessarily looking for personal experience, just picking ya'lls brains.
I'm inclined to say that Pedro's system is a better choice. Here's why :

1. By the time you're done purchasing all of the parts necessary for the IPD system, you're at $1200+ . And, as I previously mentioned, most of that cost is going toward a fancy plenum.

2. The Pedro's system incorporates a 76mm tb vs. IPD's 74mm, and there's plenty of supporting info to suggest that the use of the larger tb has resulted in greater performance gains. In fact, some have reported further gains by using 78mm tb. Also, Pedro's system saves money (and possibly weight) by simply using a larger oem 997 plenum . Lastly, Pedro will custom tune your vehicle's ecu in order to accommodate the increase in air flow ratios . Whereas, an ecu re-map adds another $800-$1000 to the IPD system .

That's my ditty.

P.S.
I'm not a salesperson for Pedro's Garage, nor have I ever played one on TV.
