strange how mine feels better with the standard one.......but my car is down on power ,,,i think mine is down to spark plugs .....as when i had ngk pfr 6q it was good then i got denso ik22 and it went down hill from there...silver trilogy next on my list....but it still sounds like its not boosting as good very quiet (dump valve ) i dont know.. :undecided:
