I shipped a brand new Whipple 2.3 Gen II to someone and UPS managed to munch the stock plenum(don't ask me how, box was tight and it was the original shipping container). I insured the package and already have a claim in. However, I'm looking at Whipple's site and searching but can't find a stand alone whipple plenum. Does anyone know where to buy one? Specifically looking for a black single blade t/b plenum.
Where can you buy new Whipple plenums?

I'm sure whipple will sell you one, just call them.
x2 wont be cheap though...
Whipple's site sucks, you are better off just calling. It is a pretty expensive part, though. I would make sure that was the only damage, because I bought a used Whipple, and USPS dropped the box on the snout end. I thought the pulley was the only damage, but nI turned out needing a whole rebuild do to internal noise.
I read about your situation - what a joke. Sorry that happened to you.
The crazy part about this situation is that I never took it out of the box. I opened it to look at of course, but otherwise it's just been sitting. It has the original packing material, everything. I taped it up tight and it should have been good. Whipple ships thousands of these things a year, it seems like UPS shouldn't have had a problem.
I insured it so no huge deal, but I just feel bad for the buyer. He's going to have to deal with them inspecting it, etc.
Sounds like a plan. I couldn't find any on there site and thought maybe they didn't sell them separate :shrug:
I actually talked to Dennis at Whipple. Fantastic customer service - Whipple is awesome. A replacement is $349 for anyone curious. I have plenty of insurance to cover, so everything should work out fine. Thanks for the help all!
And even though I didn't buy it, thanks for not being an idiot and insuring it AND taking care of the buyer :rockon:
The Cobra community is awesome, I wouldn't want to screw anyone over. I'm sure the buyer works hard for his money :thumbsup:
Does anyone know how involved switching off a plenum is? The buyer is concerned and I have no idea how hard it is?
Super easy! just 6 allen head bolts, and that's it.
