wow...
Thanks for the great write up, and photo journal!
I love the design of all of those parts,
they look really well done..
(Especially the one piece silicon intake tube,
it should cut down on heat transfer, as well as being more robust.)
After you tell us what the "downside" is,
I suppose I'll have to put it on the list of things I need!
But I'll have to do some research to find out what throttle body options are for those of us with actual throttle cables..
Thanks again!
-Brad

Great write-up Chaudanova. I have a question; Air flow is limited to the smallest diameter tube in the manifold (barring pressurization), that being the intake runners. Since these were not swapped out for the 3.4 runners I'm wondering were the "extra" umph comes from?
I installed an EVO intake and I understand freeing up the restrictive stock air cleaner assembly for a more free flowing system but I have my doubts about the IPD manifold. Can you sell me on this?

I followed your post on 6speed, thanks for posting here!
I just wonder how this setup would compare to a Technotorque and the "homemade" intake hose, of course with the same throttle body..........

I'm sure you'll like it as much as I enjoy mine... Especially to complement your exhaust setup you have listed..
You can get in touch with IPD via their contact on their webpage... Here's the link to the 986 plenum:

In my opinion, I don't think there is a comparison at all. One makes power and one loses power.
The TT (in theory) seems like it would work, with the splitter design in mind. Problem is, that it is still too small, using the stock sized T-pipe, and then is made even smaller by putting the splitter in there, decreasing the inner volume.
The IPD plenum is an entirely crafted out piece, and not only is larger, but has much more into the R&D for improved airflow.
There was a (controversial) thread in the forums where the Technotorque lost power, dyno backed.
On the flipside, almost every single dyno chart I've seen with the IPD proved real power gains...
I'm no racecar engineer... these are my thoughts on this though...

In defense of Pedro's Techno Torque, the dyno results on my vehicle from about a year ago presumably showed a very slight increase in HP. I hasten to say, that the TT was installed at the same time as a couple of other modifications were. However, the point is that at no time did my vehicle show a loss in power due to the TT as others have indicated. With all due respect to JAAY and those who may have experienced a loss in power, keep in mind that the TT was designed to be used in conjunction with 2.5, 2.7 and 3.2 engines. I have no doubt that Chaudanova's experience with the IPD is accurate, however, I also believe that the TT has merit of its own. Especially if you compare the price between the two.

Also, I don't think Pedro claims ANY hp gain on the TT... just more Torque.

Hello All...
What kind of HP gains are you seeing chaudanova? Thanks!

Any approximations on recorded gains? I'm seriously considering this being my next upgrade.
Thanks.

so would doing this modification help in re-increasing back pressure with an aftermarket exhaust.
Im not sure how all of that works exactly but I figure you will have more air going in and out...
