Default E3 Spark Plugs? Anyone try them?

I've been seeing those commercials for them and their new design that doesnt block the electrode...



Im curious if anyone here has tried them....

Hmm...could be better than normal spark plugs. Seems like it would be slightly superior.

if you take out old plugs and replace them with the cheapest NEW plugs you'll notice a difference. and for the cost of these you can afford to replace your plugs a lot more often, and it'll keep your tib running like a champ all the time. thats what i do, just replace the plugs like every other month, hell it's so easy and they are real cheap

7 bux added to a oil change isnt bad at all



thats what i used to do



change oil and plugs at the same time



wasteful? sure but considering people do even more wasteful stuff to our cars (premium fuel when its not required, 3k mile synthetic oil changes etc.) whats 7 bux every few months?

I run NGK Iridiums and I usually put 60,000 miles on each set with hardly any performance drop during the life of the plug. I wouldn't mind tossing an E3 set in my car to compare but I can't see them being any better than the Iridium plugs.

I am also a guy that does plugs and oil, Yet, i do mine alot more frequent than most, 1800 miles or every two months. Just because the car gets beat, and it is boosted!!!
