Yah...don't **** it up.


I haven't been following what the best plugs for you guys are. As long as it is in the proper heat range you will be ok. NGK is one of the top quality plugs and call your dealer and ask them for the proper gap for your application (mods).

Stick the stock one back on or suck it up and spend more dough on a catless one.

The stock one was causing too much backpressure due to the cams,when I put this dp on it helped until I clogged it,I would prefer to gut it instead of buying onother dp
