So, there is little evidence that the IPD product is worth anything, much less $1000+, and I'm not yet convienced that Pedro's product can provide a performance increase that is really noticable.

The Panorama Q&A answer was poorly researched, if at all. The writer admitted no knowledge of the IPD plenum and then went on to remark on dyno testing in general rather than specifically addressing the readers question about the plenum. I was very disappointed by the lack of effort that was put into this answer to actually research the product and address the root question.

As such, I would not take these comments as a negative blow to the IPD product or Pedro's product. The answer simply gave good information about dyno tests in general and how the results can vary, but it did not address the product in question or how that product was specifically tested.
