Can someone give me some background on the chick and why she is so god damn scary? I don't like to say the work Plenum, makes you sound like you have a lisp or something. I vote for intake manifold.

Finally the truth comes out about the damn word "plenum". I cant stand the word, and I always originally referred to it as an intake manifold. I tell people we make a "plenum" and they are like, what!!???
Its not even that bad when people dont know what a "plenum" is, but it sounds silly to me and I dont even like saying the word.
As I understand it, the flange, runners, and plenum make up the intake manifold. The plenum is the chamber at which the individual cylinder runners connect.

Intake pipe === Into...
Throttle body === Into...
Upper Plenum, which flows through the runners of the lower plenum === Into Alas...
THE Intake manifold.
By removing your LOWER plenum you will see this, it is very clear what it is.
Had I known this post was going on, we had a extra IM sitting on the shelf I would have taken a picture of.
The term PLENUM is NOT that uncommon, domestics have been using it for decades. As for import guys, check out supraforums.com, and the E46 M3 boards... they are more into aftermarket plenums than we are.

Guess thats where diffinition 3 & 4 comes in:
3. The condition of being full; fullness.
4. A space completely filled with matter.
Guess it's full of Air when throttle is open.
