The new Turbo IPD Y-Pipe delivers the same amazing proven performance as with the previous generation Turbo. Porsche made very few changes to the intake system from the 991 Turbo to the 991.2 Turbo. Ballistic acceleration and a top speed of over 200 mph places the new Turbo in a very elite class of supercars. But of course the IPD Y-Pipe (and Plenum) raise the performance bar even higher for Porsche driving enthusiasts who seek fighter jet performance from their German Turbo missiles.
IPD invested countless hours of R & D with a variety of unique design features and multiple prototype tests before settling on an optimum design that significantly improves engine performance for both stock and highly modified 991 Turbos. Our innovative Y-Pipe design is not only larger but also utilizes “non-round” runners, an optimized merge collector area and our proven dimpled interior surfacing. This superior design delivers greater volume of air, improved laminar flow and increased air velocity. These improvements deliver an additional 40+ wheel HP, 50+ Foot Pounds of Torque, improved boost response and more linear power and torque curves.
As we all know, bigger is not always better when it comes to forced induction applications. The IPD Y-Pipe is considerably larger than the factory but not so large as to cause pressure drop within the intake tract resulting in turbo lag and reduced performance. This optimized “non-round” design with dimpled interior surface cannot be achieved with conventional round tube construction.
The 991 Turbo Y-Pipe is a direct bolt-on engine upgrade that requires no modifications but should be perform by an experienced Porsche technician familiar with the 991 platform. Y-Pipes comes with all the required hardware necessary to complete the installation.
About
Innovative Pro Design (IPD) was founded in 2004 by Mike "Turbo" Kirakosyan. The IPD Plenums were conceived, developed, tested, proven and manufactured in the heart of the Porsche Tuning capital, Southern California. The IPD plenums evolved from the age old hot rod philosophy of "never leave good enough alone". The genius behind the IPD Intake Plenums is not only the patented "Y" design but also the geometry of diversion areas, optimization of bore sizes and internal surface area manipulation.
Virtually all performance upgrades stem from man's innate and unstoppable quest for speed and power, and the IPD Plenums are no exception. Turbo Mike's "Need for Speed" is embedded in his DNA. His relentless pursuit of performance extends well beyond the Plenums. Mike is an accomplished fabricator, engine builder, tuner and all around Porsche expert.
Back in 2000 Mike's personal 3.8 liter Porsche Twin Turbo was a daily driver developing over 1000 horsepower (at the flywheel) and capable of unheard of acceleration . This car was the test mule for all initial plenum designs and performed over 1000 dyno pulls during it's extensive developmental process.
Mike's continual quest for more power combined with his passion for Porsches have yielded the ultimate Porsche performance upgrade, the IPD Intake Plenum. Mike spends endless hours on the dyno continually testing, tuning, modifying and retesting each plenum model until the perfect plenum design is achieved for each specific Porsche model.
Early implementation of diversion splitters were cast and polished then installed inside the OE factory Porsche air distributor. These early "shoe horned" splitters yielded power gains but still required a larger opening near the throttle body for optimum performance. This is where today's single cast and machined IPD Plenum really performs and warranted a patent design.
Although the concept of the patented "Y" design plenum appears simple and straight forward there is a science behind the diversion areas and optimization of volumetric efficiencies. It's only after countless prototypes and endless hours of dyno testing that an actual Plenum design is put into production.
The entire IPD team is dedicated to providing the absolute best after market performance products for Porsche. IPD stands behind each and every plenum and our promised power claims with a 100% money back guarantee if not completely satisfied after 30 days.
We back up our dyno proven performance claims with honest, knowledgeable and friendly service. So many manufacturers inflate their performance gains with questionable and unqualified dynos. We only advertise performance gains that we can consistently replicate and promise will be realized on our customer cars. (Photo of Plenum being installed on Porsche)
IPD has substantially expanded its product range over the years and will continue to maintain this growth with new and innovative products. Even the current existing IPD product line, now covering more than 30 Porsche applications, under goes continual scrutiny and fine tuning improvements.
All of IPD Plenums will continue to come standard with customer satisfaction guaranteed, No dreaded check engine lights or warranty voiding issues and most important, impressive performance gains sure to make any Porsche driving enthusiast smile.
Thousands of IPD Intake Plenums have been sold with over a 99% customer satisfaction rate which few manufactures can claim in any industry. We even have the skeptics covered with our 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. So if you're ready to increase the performance of your late model Porsche then look no further than the ultimate Porsche bolt on performance mod, the IPD Intake Plenum.
