Performance Plenum
The IPD Panamera Turbo plenum has a revised diversion area and larger openings that further optimizes intake air speed and volume. This more efficient design provides the same great power increases as it does on the Cayenne Turbo, an additional 30+ horsepower and 32+ foot pounds of torque. The Panamera Turbo Plenum performance gains are throughout the entire power curve and provide additional power that can be felt in the "seat of your pants".
The factory plastic intakes are also prone to cracking, especially with Panamera Turbos producing higher boost levels. The IPD Plenum will not crack and will handle the highest of boost levels.
The IPD Plenum utilizes all the factory hardware including the OE 76mm throttle body. The only thing more impressive than the substantial power gains provided by the IPD Panamera Turbo plenum is how easy they install.
Fits:
Porsche 970 Panamera Turbo
Porsche 970 Panamera Turbo S
PLEASE NOTE: The IPD Panamera Turbo plenum will NOT fit vehicles equipped with the factory Sound Imposer Package. This is easily identified by raising your hood and inspecting the front center of the engine compartment.
Compatible (Non-Sound Imposers) Factory Intake. Look for black plastic ribbed construction – Upgradeable with IPD Plenum
Incompatible (Sound Imposer Equipped) Factory Intake. Look for aluminum construction – Does NOT work with IPD Plenum

In fuel injected engines, the throttle body is the part of the air intake system that controls the amount of air flowing into the engine, in response to driver accelerator pedal input in the main. The throttle body is usually located between the air filter box and the intake manifold, and it is usually attached to, or near, the mass airflow sensor.
The largest piece inside the throttle body is the throttle plate, which is a butterfly valve that regulates the airflow. Have a larger diameter throttle body produces more air flow with equals more power. The upgrades should be used in conjunction with the competition plenums.

Performance Plenums – Maximise Airflow, Power & Efficiency for Your Porsche
A performance plenum is a critical upgrade for Porsche enthusiasts looking to improve throttle response, airflow efficiency, and overall engine performance. Sitting between the throttle body and intake runners, the plenum distributes incoming air evenly across all cylinders — ensuring consistent combustion and optimised power delivery.
At Design911, we offer a premium range of performance-engineered plenums designed specifically for Porsche models. Constructed from lightweight aluminium, carbon fibre, or composite materials, these units feature advanced internal flow geometry to reduce turbulence and increase air velocity.
Whether you’re enhancing a classic 911 or tuning a modern Cayman, our high-quality plenums are developed to deliver proven performance gains, sharper throttle response, and a more linear torque curve — perfect for both road and track use.
What Do Performance Plenums Do?
The plenum serves as an air distribution chamber that balances airflow between the cylinders. Upgrading to a performance plenum improves air charge efficiency, resulting in smoother engine breathing and increased power output.
Core Functions:
- Distribute
intake air evenly to all engine cylinders.
- Optimise
airflow dynamics for faster throttle response.
- Increase
air velocity and reduce pressure loss.
- Improve torque and mid-range performance.
- Enhance engine efficiency and fuel-air mixture stability.
A well-designed plenum ensures that every cylinder receives the right amount of air at the right time — unlocking smoother acceleration and more consistent power.
Why Do Plenums Fail or Require Replacement?
Over time, standard plenums can suffer from material fatigue, cracks, or restricted internal passages, all of which impact performance and reliability.
Common Causes of Failure Include:
- Cracks
or leaks from heat cycling and vibration.
- Carbon
build-up restricting airflow.
- Worn
gaskets or seals causing pressure loss.
- Plastic
deformation under extreme boost or temperature.
- Reduced efficiency due to outdated or restrictive design.
Signs of a failing plenum include loss of throttle response, poor fuel economy, uneven idle, or reduced torque. Replacing it with a performance-engineered unit restores full airflow efficiency and reliability.
Why Upgrade to a
Precision-Engineered Performance Plenum?
Upgrading your Porsche’s intake system with a high-performance
plenum enhances power delivery, throttle sharpness, and efficiency —
particularly when combined with a performance air intake and tuning.
Key Benefits:
- Increases horsepower and torque throughout the rev range.
- Delivers faster throttle response and improved drivability.
- Constructed from lightweight, heat-resistant materials.
- Improves airflow balance and reduces pressure drop.
- Direct-fit
compatibility for Porsche 911, Cayman, Boxster, and more.
- Ideal for performance tuning, track driving, and high-output builds.
Replacing restrictive intake components with a performance plenum unlocks your Porsche’s full potential, ensuring stronger mid-range power and greater engine efficiency.
Highlights:
- Performance-engineered plenums for Porsche tuning and upgrades.
- Improves airflow distribution, power delivery, and throttle response.
- Built from aluminium or carbon fibre for strength and weight reduction.
- Direct-fit installation with precision-sealed fittings.
- Perfect for high-performance, racing, or spirited road driving.
- Enhances engine sound and overall responsiveness.
