IPD took delivery of its 991.2 Turbo S and the R&D started the second it arrived at its new home. The Turbo doesn’t substantially benefit from any one particular upgrade, but the sum of its improvements deliver a superior overall Turbo compared to the already impressive 991.1 Turbo it replaces. Yes, we know this Turbo is faster than the previous generation with 20 more horsepower but it’s the combination of lightening shifts, razor sharp handling and spiritual connection to the vehicle that elevates the driving experience of the extraordinary 991.2 Turbo.
Porsche made a number of substantial upgrades with the 991.2 Turbo. Engine improvements include revised intake ports, larger injectors, higher volume fuel pump, larger turbo compressor wheels and more efficient intercoolers, but the factory intake system remained relatively unchanged allowing the IPD Plenum and Y-Pipe to fit with only minor modifications.
The 991.2 Turbo Plenum upgrade delivers staggering engine power and torque gains that will raise the performance bar of the already potent supercar as well as the hairs on your neck. Horsepower gains are found throughout the entire power band with the bulk of the gains being realized between the 3500-5000 RPM range. Max power gains of 45+ wheel HP come in at 4300 RPM and hold strong all the way to redline. Torque is even more impressive at 60+ in the midrange with a massive torque gains from 3500-5000 RPM.

991.2 Turbo Non-S/S and GT2RS IPD Carbon High Flow Y-Pipes
Our brand new 991 Carbon Y-Pipes are designed and engineered to deliver substantial net horsepower and torque gains across both power curves, but without the weight penalty of cast aluminum construction. These lightweight Y-Pipes are inspired and modeled after our proven 991 Turbo Y-Pipes featuring slightly larger “non-round” runners and optimized merge collector areas that dramatically improve intake air flow and overall engine performance for both stock and highly modified Turbos.
In determining the scope of change for our next generation Y pipes we considered a multitude of materials, manufacturing processes, and shapes. In the end, we determined that by using a composite, we could achieve a reduced wall thicknesses without the penalty of casting shift. The result was more cross-sectional area and therefore more air flow. But we didn’t stop there. We sought out an experienced manufacturing partner with a background in pinnacle level motorsports and insisted on using the highest quality UV stable structural prepreg composite with an autoclave cure. Because the finish of the outside is important for hose fit and aesthetics, we built the parts with female tools. However, we didn’t want to compromise the internal geometry with typical folds and wrinkles found with a vacuum bag layup, so we invested in bladder tooling to ensure a uniform and smooth internal surface. The side benefit of this aerospace grade process and material was 75% less weight of the part which sits behind the axle center line making it an important contributor to the handling and dynamics of rear engine cars.
The superior design, materials and construction of our Carbon Y-Pipes deliver the same impressive gains of 40+ wheel HP and 50+ wheel TQ, but benefit from substantial weight reduction for Turbo clients who demand top tier level motorsport components and quality for their 991 Turbos and GT2RS’s.
Just like all IPD products, our 991 Carbon Turbo Y-Pipes are designed, manufactured, and assembled here in the USA.
The 991 Carbon Turbo Y-Pipes are a direct bolt-on engine upgrade that require no modifications. We strongly recommend that an experienced Porsche technician who is familiar with the 991 platform perform the installation.

991.2 Turbo Non-S/S and GT2RS IPD High Flow Y-Pipes
The 991.2 Turbo IPD Y-Pipe delivers the same amazing proven performance as with the previous generation Turbo. Porsche made very few changes to the intake system from the 991 Turbo to the 991.2 Turbo. Ballistic acceleration and a top speed of over 200 mph places this Turbo in a very elite class of supercars. But of course the IPD Y-Pipe (and Plenum) raise the performance bar even higher for Porsche driving enthusiasts who seek fighter jet performance from their German Turbo missiles.
IPD invested countless hours of R&D with a variety of unique design features and multiple prototype tests before settling on an optimum design that significantly improves engine performance for both stock and highly modified 991 Turbos. Our innovative Y-Pipe design is not only larger but also utilizes “non-round” runners, an optimized merge collector area and our proven dimpled interior surfacing. This superior design delivers greater volume of air, improved laminar flow and increased air velocity. These improvements deliver an additional 40+ wheel HP, 50+ Foot Pounds of Torque, improved boost response and more linear power and torque curves.
As we all know, bigger is not always better when it comes to forced induction applications. The IPD Y-Pipe is considerably larger than the factory but not so large as to cause pressure drop within the intake tract resulting in turbo lag and reduced performance. This optimized “non-round” design with dimpled interior surface cannot be achieved with conventional round tube construction.
The 991 Turbo Y-Pipe is a direct bolt-on engine upgrade that requires no modifications but should be perform by an experienced Porsche technician familiar with the 991 platform. Y-Pipes comes with all the required hardware necessary to complete the installation.
