Product Description

The Soul Performance Porsche 997.1 Carrera IPD Intake Plenum is a performance-enhancing intake upgrade that replaces the factory intake plenum with a high-flow, “Y”-design manifold engineered for smoother, more laminar airflow. By reducing turbulence and increasing air velocity feeding the engine, this plenum improves throttle response and overall engine efficiency, particularly in the mid-range where the 997 flat-six thrives. Drivers will notice sharper throttle transitions, improved drivability at higher RPMs, and a subtle increase in intake sound that reflects a more responsive engine character. This upgrade is especially impactful when paired with other power upgrades like headers, exhaust, or throttle body enhancements.

Fitment Notes

  • Designed for Porsche 997.1 Carrera / Carrera S (2005–2008) naturally aspirated models.

  • Direct bolt-on replacement for the stock plenum. 

  • Works with both 3.6 L and 3.8 L engines when correctly matched to throttle body size. 

  • If upgrading to a GT3 throttle body, a throttle adaptation procedure may be required at a dealership. 

  • Ideal for vehicles with other bolt-on performance modifications to maximize airflow gains. 

Included

  • High-flow aluminum intake plenum with patented “Y” design.

  • Mounting hardware for direct installation. 

  • Installation guidance.

Product Specs

  • Material: precision-cast aluminum for durability and smooth airflow. 

  • Design: patented “Y” shape with dimpled interior surface for laminar flow and reduced turbulence. 

  • Compatibility: fits Porsche 997.1 Carrera engines (both 3.6 L and 3.8 L applications with correct sizing). 

  • Installation: direct OEM-aligned bolt-on; no permanent modifications required. 

Product Features

  • Optimized airflow design reduces turbulence and increases air velocity into the engine. 

  • Improved throttle response and mid-range power delivery due to more efficient air management. 

  • Enhanced engine drivability with smoother power delivery across the RPM range. 

  • Subtle intake sound enhancement adds to the performance sensory experience without harsh noise.

  • Direct bolt-on installation keeps the OEM fitment and layout intact.
