There are over 1,000 carbon plenums that were sold worldwide - 2% of E9X M3s ever sold are running one, and you barely see them up for sale unless an owner parts out. There's enough statistical relevance to support the carbon plenums and its value proposition are absolutely loved by its owners. There's no confirmation bias in having organized a GB - I did it for my personal car first and I would have bought it anyways. It just so happens that 50 + M3 owners then immediately agreed it was good value and followed through. There is confirmation bias in having ridden in a single carbon plenum equipped car within the framework of comparing it to your SC'ed car. Of course your SC is more valuable for you, power is what matters to you. SC'ed aren't track ready at all, they need insane amounts of supporting cooling mods to address the overheating issues. The overwhelming majority of SC M3s are street cars. We get it, you don't see the value - in the context of OP's question; is it worth it? Yes, if enhancing the S65's DNA matters to you, you will adore the plenum. If you value HP, this isn't it - yet not a single plenum manufacturer promises gains outside of complete race boxes from Motorsport24. |

Ha, people have asked me how the 997.2 compares to the M3 and while the M3 chassis is impressive, I think the 911 is a step ahead in that area. I will say the flat six in the 911 can't touch the S65. The S65 really is an all-time motor and I do miss it.

I'm supercharged now anyway. So the sc sounds like an offbeat, misaligned, mechanical grinding. The 600+ hp is nice though.

The whole supercharger debate vs a carbon plenum is stupid. If the OP wanted more power he would have asked SC vs carbon plenum. It's for the noise and drama if that's worth 1.5- 3k to the OP then get it you won't be disappointed.

Looks to be
https://ind-distribution.com/product...n-inlet-plenum and here is the MGruppe owners club. Not sure if the membership still gets you the discount but it did back in 2019 when I bought my plenum. https://www.mgruppe.org/about-us

Thinking of getting their intake with elbow, but not sure how this affects filtration. MS intake advertises OE level of filtration.
