That's a pretty good shape. The carbon fiber is unnecessary bling though.

found this 997S plenum . would this fit a 3.2 ?

fun. like a treasure hunt. not much info to go on. a red herring thrown in there to boot. the first image you provided had 'sharkwerks' stamped on it, so easy to find. that was an image of the sharkwerks 997 turbo plenum, so wouldn't work on our cars. at first you would think that the carbon plenum in the second image was related, as it was a carbon plenum with 'werks' on it. not so. no such product. so, i check the file name of the image you posted and it had 'tpc' in it. aha, i say, tpc has a carbon subsiduary. not so, as nothing on the tpc website. then i google 'tpc carbon plenum' and voila, werks is a subsiduary of champion motorshorts.

should fit the boxster (with larger throttle body). nice unit.

Either those guys don't know what they're talking about or they're lying, but the in-plane thermal conductivity of CF reinforced polymer is VERY high, often higher than copper. Out of plane (thin direction) is low conductivity. The plenum will get warm faster and ultimately transfer more heat to the intake air than a plastic plenum would.

it looks pretty , looks like the air flow issues are sorted with this design also but a grand for the part seems steep . would this part be functional if it was made from regular fiberglass ?

Fiberglass would work but you'd want to reinforce the screw holes and the hose clamp areas to keep it from cracking.

Werks is in fact a subsidiary of Champion Motorsports . Their CF products are made by a small company just outside of Boston. I had the occasion to meet the owner a couple of years back . Very ex$$$pensive, high quality stuff .
