- Is this plug right for a stock WRX or STi?
- It is one heat range colder than stock, so it suits modified or higher-boost engines. On a stock, lightly driven car a standard-range plug is the safer choice.
- How many plugs come in the box?
- Four plugs, enough for one complete engine set on these four-cylinder Subaru engines.
- Do I need to gap these plugs?
- They come pre-gapped, but check the gap against your engine's spec before fitting. Adjust carefully to avoid damaging the fine iridium tip.
- Which Subaru models does it fit?
- It is listed for 2006-2014 WRX, 2004-2014 and 2018-2021 STi, 2004-2013 Forester XT, 2005-2009 Outback XT and 2005-2009 Legacy GT.
- What is the difference from a standard NGK plug?
- The Iridium IX uses a fine iridium center electrode and tapered ground electrode for a stronger spark and better fouling resistance, and this version runs one range colder.
- How often should they be replaced?
- Iridium plugs last longer than copper plugs, but tuned engines under boost are usually serviced more often. Follow your tuner's or Subaru's interval for your setup.
