Rob, what does the inside of the plenum look like?
Is there are split for the air to the two sides like the IPD? Smooth inside?
I've never seen the X51 one for sale separately. I'm sure you can get it. Probably cheaper getting the IPD. Plus don't know if the X51 one is only made to fit the X51 air intakes (???) that connect to either side of it.

G, there are no "demples" like the IPD inside and the "splitter" is not all the way through to the back like the IPD. Instead, it appears to allow the air to travel all the way back to a diffuser like plate and then the air can still go either direction. It is relatively smooth too. Hope this helps. R

We had a week long delay as some of the injectors broke off when removed so had to get a few of those ($375 ea)! Hope to drive it Mon the 19th!

What exhaust is that BTW? Stock non-PSE?

Makes sense. Those loops didn't look factory, but the piping didn't look aftermarket...if that makes sense.

I picked up the car yesterday and all I can say is "wow"! It feels like a totally different car! The sound is deeper (& a bit louder) and just drives/shifts so sweet. The mechanic was also very impressed with the kit and the finished product put a smile on his face too. He drove it about 70 miles before letting it go, insuring the coolant and oil were all topped off. He said he could also tell a difference in how smooth & quick it revs albeit we are limited to 5k until 310 miles (500km). I will do a more in depth report after I drive it for the said break in and then put the beans to it! Pricey? Yes! Worth it? Absolutely IMHO! Very happy man right now.
