As i pointed out its a matter of opinion, as for worth.
I need to read up on it? I have installed a full intake system upgrade, so yes I know just installing the 997 Plenum isn't going to give you all the benefits it offers without doing a full intake upgrade. As for the TB, both Plenums are for the larger TB.

I'm not saying the IPD isn't better, it's just not 1,045% price wise better. The HP gain between the two on a stock 3.2 wouldn't even be noticeable. Save yourself some money to pay for the rest of a full intake upgrade. You can get everything needed with the extra $730 saved and have money left over.
