IPD 82mm Competition Plenum for 981 Porsche Boxster & Cayman [81482-2.7]

IPD 82mm Competition Plenum for 981 Porsche Boxster & Cayman [81482-2.7]

The IPD 82mm Competition Plenum for the 981 Porsche Boxster and Cayman is the result of an extensive R&D program designed to maximize performance. Offered exclusively as a “Competition” model, this Plenum replaces the factory 74mm throttle body with the larger 82mm throttle body from the 997 GT3. This powerful combination has become increasingly popular among enthusiasts, delivering significantly enhanced power and responsiveness. Ideal for those aiming to elevate their 981’s performance, the IPD 82mm Competition Plenum optimizes both airflow and throttle response, making it an essential upgrade for serious driving enthusiasts.

Engineering

• The 981 intake is similar to the 987.2 intake, with Porsche adding a few enhancements to the 981 model—notably, drawing outside air from both driver and passenger intakes, unlike the single intake on the driver’s side used in the 986, 987, and 987.2 models. IPD has created a custom silicone hose specifically designed to accommodate the larger 82mm throttle body, significantly enhancing airflow. Additionally, the 981 Plenum incorporates an internal dimpling effect that optimizes the boundary layer to maximize airflow. Similar to how a dimpled golf ball travels farther than a smooth one, controlled turbulent air on the dimpled surface reduces friction, allowing it to “tumble” more efficiently over the surface.

Features

• 82mm intake
• Improved airflow
• Internal dimpling

Applications

• Porsche Boxster: 981 (2012-2016) – 2.7L F6

Notes

• This Plenum is specifically designed to fit the larger 997 GT3 82mm throttle body and is not compatible with the standard throttle body
