But in Mikes write up on the linked thread, there is no mention of the plenum, only the Fabspeed intakes. Did you forgo the plenum altogether?

No, the IPD plenum is there and soon it will be joined by the prototype Vivid Racing Y-pipe and IC's. I'll post some pic's of the engine once the Y-pipe is in because IT WILL BE DIFFERENT.

I guess you can refer to the above part as part of the plenum.

I've always referred ti it as a "splitter." I have referred to the parts from the splitter to the injector manifold as the plenum.

I wouldn't know one part from another unless I am told what they are called...and I have no idea what they do.

At $2200 quoted for parts and whatever the cost of labor, this seems like a pretty inexpensive upgrade for 60hp.

Anyone gone this route? Any comments on this upgrade?

Thanks.

ruf , i am thinking of getting the euro stage I, how loud id the stage 2, is that what you have?

Big +1 on stage 2. Love the burbles and popping sound it makes when you get off the gas. That may have as much to do with my setup but the pipe does sound great. Best sound out there, IMO.

Ok, the wait is over. I received the proto Y-pipe from Vivid Racing today. Dan, you guys do awesome work.

Here's the pipe and new silicon hoses

I just laid the pipe in there so you could see the diff in size

I'll have it installed next week and then I'll plan a trip back to AWD. I think I might need a reflash since the pipe and IC's have been installed.

ya stef recommended stage 1, as stage would be loud, it seem like evrery body is getting s2. did you get it from europipe directly, is so what kind of duty did you pay.

thanks
