IPD 82mm Competition Plenum for 997.1 Porsche 911 Carrera & Carrera S [97182]

IPD 82mm Competition Plenum for 997.1 Porsche 911 Carrera & Carrera S [97182]

The IPD 82mm Competition Plenum for the 997.1 Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S replaces the factory “T” style air distributor with an advanced “Y” design, delivering substantial power and torque gains through improved efficiency. Horsepower increases range from 24 to 28, depending on engine displacement and condition, with peak power gains focused in the mid-range, where they’re most effective and enjoyable. Alongside significant power and torque boosts, the IPD Plenum provides a more linear power curve, enhancing drivability across the RPM range. Tiptronic owners also report improved shift responsiveness, making the IPD 82mm Competition Plenum a highly beneficial upgrade for any performance-driven Carrera enthusiast.

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 available from Porsche; for the Competition Carrera, this involves upgrading the factory 74mm throttle body to Porsche’s 82mm 997 GT3 throttle body. The Competition Plenums are designed to excel on vehicles equipped with high-performance exhaust systems, and the more comprehensive the exhaust setup (headers, catalytic converters, and mufflers), the better the results. Balancing optimized air intake with exhaust enhancements creates a cohesive performance package, allowing the engine to intake and expel more air, which generates additional power and torque.
• Power improvements are fully realized once the factory ECU/DME completes the necessary “adaptation” process. This can be accelerated through a series of “hard pulls” or spirited full-throttle acceleration runs through the gears, which should only be conducted on a closed-course circuit.

Engineering

• IPD has pioneered a new design with the Competition Carrera Plenum, enhancing laminar flow and volumetric efficiency through an innovative internal merge collector. This fresh approach yields impressive performance gains, with more linear power delivery and improved throttle response. Gains vary depending on pre-existing modifications and the quality of any aftermarket exhaust installed. As is well-known, achieving horsepower and torque becomes progressively challenging and costly as performance advances. The effectiveness of performance components also depends on the installation order. IPD rigorously tests all products on stock vehicles, ensuring an “apples-to-apples” baseline for comparison. The Competition Carrera Plenum, however, is tailored for applications that are already moderately to heavily modified. While power gains vary by Carrera model, this Plenum consistently delivers noticeable and impressive gains, delighting Porsche Carrera enthusiasts.
• The 997.1 Carrera Comp Plenum is offered with two silicone hose options. Part #97182 includes a custom IPD silicone hose designed to fit the 82mm GT3 throttle body and the factory Porsche air box. Part #97182-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
• +24-28 horsepower

Applications

• Porsche 911 Carrera: 997.2 (2005-2008) – 3.6L F6
