this is were i got it from.
Just ordered the RSS plenum for my 02 996 C2 for $796 from Automotion- As mentioned earlier in post, Automotion has 20% off sale on orders over $400- it's good only thru Thurs 10/25- www.automotion.com/
I called RSS & talked to Greg to be sure i was getting their product-- the plenum you purchase from automotion/performance parts is the RSS/IPD plenum.
If you're sitting on fence about purchasing the plenum this is great price and requires no group buy. Ask automotion to have it drop shipped from RSS and it will be on the way quick.
I've no affiliation with either place- was on the fence about purchase, read the many posts & other forum and missed the group buy- .

Claymation!!!
I haven't had the engine dyno'ed however there is a set road course I take with my Bro in and our race through D.C. I have a Gemballa exhaust, a self modifiled fabspeed intake - and what my friends and I have dubbed the "hunk of cheese" which is the stock T junction behind the T.B. filled with clay (hardened in such a way I had to use a masonry bit to drill the holes.) Then to hold everything in place I used a special sauce to keep anything from moving except air.
To get to the point in a very serious manner:
The engine is so much more drivable from low revs and pulls more effortlessly in the midrange. Once you hit Variocam at 5k RPM's it pulls so much harder and faster to redline, you have to actually get used to it.
And the road course in and out of D.C. I usually hit about 104-109 MPH before I trail to full brake the Brembos for a turn. I was so enthused with the acceleration I forgot to trail brake and when the car hit 126 MPH I pushed the brakes to the floor and I thought I was going into the Jersey barrier on this turn. My deft driving skills kept me out of the wall - and this field test did what Porsches are made for...got my heart pounding. So it works great.

Don't think they make one for the Gt3, there is only like 700 (not counting attrition) of them floating around the US so I would guess they wouldn't have had one to do it with.

IPD made one for a GT3 we had a few years back. We had it dynoed as well. This was before RSS and the new aluminum cast designs though. It was basically a stock plastic plenum with a diverter insert bolted in place if memory serves me right.
