you can get delcos for 6.99 which is the oem manufacturer.


stay away from the dealership please.

yes i know but, i was told that the ecotec needs special plugs...like different then platinums.. bit lost here with this new car lol

Most expensive plug that I know of are the Denso Iridiums. Which are 12.99 a plug. All you need are the Ac/ Delcos and you'll be golden bro. Who ever told you 16 bucks was tryin to pull a fast one over on you. Hell I have a set of 4 semi used ones with only 150 miles on them from when I was trying to figure out my misfiring problem. They look brand new. Just send some shippin $$ my way and they are yours.

exactly.. thats what my car takes >> Denso Iridiums. Now i dont know if I should put the same ones.... I was told I have to put the same..err

Denso iridiums are high performance plugs for like nitrous'd/boosted cars

ok im a bit lost..but, when i went to the dealer to get me some clipis for my front spoiler(was missing 2).. I asked about the plugs and, they had a funny name... cant remember but, the guy said somthing like 16.00 bucks each..yik :2cents:

No. Just get the ones that it calls for in the manual. Which is probably the plain old AC Delco plugs. For example, my Civic takes just plain NGK ZF511 plugs for $3 each. Nothing fancy. Your engine isnt some kind of racing powerplant.

Are ACdelco's proven better then Bosche? Nobodies said anything about bosche.

A lot of people on here don't like Bosch. Ive always seen the best results with the OEM specified plug.

Yes i dont like bosch. They say choose Delco anything which is a good idea because they are decent products, i go with NGK Platinums, they work fine, no need for iridiums.

Heyyy look at me follow the guidelines and continue an existing thread before starting a new one!

..Anyway, I replaced the Bosch 2way platinum plugs that came with the car when I bought it today with these....

pics kinda blurry, POS, but they were supposed to be Nology plugs, I bought these for my 2.2 when I was planning on getting Nology Hotwires, I figured Nology with Nology would work best, but anyway I no longer drive the 2.2 so I figured why let the plugs go to waste, so I put them in my Z. I was wondering how the Bosch plugs look, do they seem bad to you like they could've been giving me crappy spark? Just wondering what your opinions were on the old plugs compared to the new ones.
