Just a plug thats been talked about here on the forums. There was a thread about them for the GS400 guys. They said it did wonders for them. Just wondering if any one is running them and recommend them.

torque master plugs.....hahaha! Sorry plugs that someone with their own agenda was pushing. If you search enough, you will find post where people have spoken badly about them AFTER they had them for some time. For plugs, OEM Denso/NGK for the win.

Stick to what's in the manual, period, done. It calls for a twin electrode plug not four, asking for a check engine if you decide to go another direction.

Thanks guys for the input. Glad I'm ordering my Densos. NGK's laser iridium work fine as well?

Where did you order your Blitza Cabin Air Filter From? And for how much?
