IPD 82mm Competition Plenum for 996 Porsche 911 Carrera & Carrera S [96182]

IPD 82mm Competition Plenum for 996 Porsche 911 Carrera & Carrera S [96182]

The IPD 82mm Competition Plenum for the 996 Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S features an innovative, patented “Y” design that channels air more effectively to each cylinder bank, reducing turbulence and increasing airflow velocity. This unique design delivers substantial power gains across the entire RPM band, providing both impressive horsepower and torque increases. Alongside these performance boosts, the Plenum creates a smoother, more linear power and torque curve, enhancing overall drivability. Tiptronic users also report improved shift responsiveness, making the IPD 82mm Competition Plenum an ideal upgrade for those seeking to elevate their 996 Carrera’s performance and driving experience.

Power

• All IPD Plenums provide substantial power and torque gains, with even greater performance achieved when paired with larger throttle bodies. Each IPD “Competition” Plenum utilizes the next largest throttle body size offered by Porsche; for the Competition Carrera, this involves upgrading the factory 74mm throttle body to Porsche’s 82mm 997 GT3 throttle body. All Competition Plenums are optimized to perform on vehicles equipped with high-performance exhaust systems, with greater benefits from more extensive setups, including headers, catalytic converters, and mufflers. Balancing optimized air intake and exhaust creates a well-rounded performance package, enabling the engine to intake and expel more air, thus generating additional power and torque.
• Full power improvements are achieved once the factory ECU/DME completes the necessary “adaptation” process. This adaptation can be accelerated by performing a series of “hard pulls” or spirited full-throttle acceleration runs through the gears, ideally on a closed course circuit.

Engineering

• IPD has pioneered another Plenum design with the Competition Carrera Plenum. Laminar flows and volumetric efficiencies have been further enhanced with our unique and innovative internal merge collector area. This completely new approach has yielded not only great performance gains but more linear power delivery and improved throttle response as well. Gains vary depending on pre-existing mods and quality of after-market exhaust installed. As we all “should” know, horsepower and torque become harder to find and typically more expensive as we climb the proverbial performance ladder. That being said, performance components yield different power gains depending on the order they were installed. IPD tests and evaluates all products on bone stock cars, this establishes a level playing field and a better “apples to apples” comparison. The Competition Carrera Plenum however is designed to work with applications that are already moderately to heavily modified.
• The 996 Carrera Comp Plenum is offered with two silicone hose options. Part #96182 includes a custom IPD silicone hose designed to fit the 82mm GT3 throttle body and the factory Porsche air box. Part #96182-RH features a straight silicone reducer hose coupler compatible with the 82mm GT3 throttle body and most popular aftermarket air intake systems that replace the factory air box.

Features

• 82mm design
• Improved torque and powerband
• Smooths airflow
• Optional silicone reducer for aftermarket systems

Applications

• Porsche 911 Carrera: 996 (2000-2004) – 3.4L F6
• Porsche 911 Carrera S: 996 (2000-2004) – 3.6L F6

Notes

• It is highly recommended that the installation of all Plenums be performed by qualified and trained Porsche technicians
• The Plenum is not compatible with the factory throttle body and requires the upgraded 82mm throttle body
