Did the entire job with car on rhino ramps and wheels ON the car. Did not remove anything but spark plug heat shields
Couple of pointers, do NOT attempt this job without one of these:
(Magnetic Spark plug deep socket)
Amazon link
This job is much easier with wheels off but can be done with wheels ON the car, just took longer (2 hours)
Here are the original plugs with 23K miles on them:
Passenger side:
Driver side:
Did you notice a difference in the new ones driving?

might do the whole length of car and get clear stone guards. Not sure yet
had to drive daughter to her doctors appointment. Only pic I have so far

its probably placebo but Yes. Also doesn’t help that I also added sprint booster (Love it) and Cobb 93 tune + Sequential PDK tune at the same time.

AGREED!! The 3/4 decals Porsche is doing now really drive me nuts.
BTW, has anyone done a "Carrera" script on a modern 991 rather than the Porsche sticker? That might look sort of retro-cool. Not sure.

Not to be negative, can someone tell me, do these IPD plenums actually really do anything?

You'd be best off asking Tyler from APR. They've tested a ton of combinations. Not really sure if they tested any intake plenums, but I do know that they've tested headers & sport cats (no gains, including muffler bypass) and intercoolers which do actually help quite a bit in terms of cooling the intake air and adding some HP and TQ.
