It's only companies trying to make a buck off of hype and in Fabspeed's case, adding another $400 to the price of the part.

It's been 4 years since I installed my full intake setup and it's been a complete joy the entire time to drive and all the parts needed to do the full intake mod cost less then the IDP Plenum alone.

You cant knock a company for trying to make a buck, research development is expensive. I never said that the number of places selling an item has relevance to weather it meets stated facts on its performance. I am just pointing out that vendors with a decent rep are selling the part. Your diy uses stock parts which i would hope are more widely available. So far you have bashed fabspeed and ipd just because you think they are over priced in your opinion doesn't mean others have an opposite opinion.

You keep saying your mod is better you have no fact either way, yes it works well. Another poster has the ipd installed is happy with it. the question which is better solution can only be proven by someone taking the time and expense to install each the run dyno.

I have read the thread several times on that mod and I personally don't want to do it, i would prefer a different options. Thats my business.

I never once said my setup was better, I actually said the IDP Plenum is the better part, but not worth the price.

If you don't want to do this mod why are you even commenting? What other options are you talking about? If you're talking displacement increasement, you're going to want an intake upgrade too. The current stock intake starves the 3.2 of air and hurts the power the engine can give you.

I never saw any of your post stating anything positive about the ipd plenum only ranting on about the cost.

I am commenting because that is the next mod up, I will be doing and want to hear actual comments from anyone who has it installed.

I said it was the better part, it's just not worth the extra cost. It's not ranting, it's my opinion. There is no way on Earth the IDP Plenum will outperform the 997 Plenum by 1,045% more, but if you have money to burn and just want to brag about how you waste money on over priced parts, go for it.

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.

IPD Plenum - best performance mod?

If this is your next mod, you're going to be piecing things together. I could put together a complete system for you using some used parts as I did with my car and would happily sell it to you for $1,200. All you would need to do is install it or you could pay someone to install it for you.

Side note on the computers reference. I have built every computer I have owned and have custom water cooled my computers since 2007 and done some for those that wanted a water cooled computer. I ran a side business selling computers put together by me and saved people a lot of money. These were people looking for high end computers for gaming/computation. I went into businesses and built all new computers for them and installed them. I have even put in systems for businesses that never had computers and trained their people how to use them. Yes that's how long I have been in the computer business. Doing this allowed me to retire at 47 years old. Now days I don't mess with people or businesses, just family, but now I have computers sitting in my home doing crypto currency mining making me money on the side. I love building computers. My laptop I built buying parts off eBay and Newegg to put in the parts I wanted. It's faster then most people desktops.
