Default question for SOHC turbo ppl

i just put in my ZEX spark plugs the Hyperformance™ Nitrous / Turbo Spark Plug on my D16y8 today and every seems fine execpt my car is much much quieter for some odd reason..... anyone kno why?
my set up is the 92-95 greddy kit, a small fmic, ngk 8mm plug wires, and a custom 2.25 catback 5 zigen fireball exhaust

like i said when i started the car you could defintly tell the difference... i have no idea why..

thanks

Ben

what do you mean by quiet. no more ticking sound? maybe the plugs are bunrning the fuel better and running smoother.

I had (As well as a few others on this board) bad luck with those plugs. I prefer regular NGK's. I am just warning you from experience.

Other than that, I have no idea why it would be quiet.

The car ran like ****. We tried figure out what was wrong and nothing worked. Swapped out the plugs and it was like a night and day difference. I wouldn't use anything but regular NGK's.

multiple prong spark plugs are no more efficient than single, they don't fire three or four sparks @ a time like they want you to think the spark just alternates between the prongs, having multiple prongs just incloses the spark if anything making them less efficient
