Have looked around and can't find much real info here on e3 plugs. Anyone tried and reported any significant findings over stock plugs?

Thanks a bunch for any info.

I ran them in a 2011 800 Ranger for 5000 miles.....no problems....Have them in my 2014 900 crew now, 2000 miles, no problems.............but could not tell a difference in performance over factory.

Probably will get flamed here, but most of the "off brand" aftermarket spark plugs are designed to separate consumers from their money. Anyone remember the Split Fire plugs from a few years ago? I'm pretty sure AC, Champion, NGK & Bosch have forgotten more about designing spark plugs over the years than these "johnny come latelies" will know.

I've always stuck w/ whatever the OEM recommends in my vehicles & toys.

Flame away.

I agree with Kris, save your money. Purchase one of the quality plugs listed above. I prefer Bosch.

Cool, thanks for the info.

revrnd pretty much summed it up.

You can experiment if you like, but the OE plugs will run as good as anything, and you get no guarantee's with anything other than that.

I prefer Bosch.

In the 60s & 70s Bosch seemed to be quite popular in snowmobiling circles (ski-doo/Rotax used them as OEM equipment). In the late 70s they switched to NGKs. Since then the only reference to Bosch plugs that I've seen was in Stihl equipment.

NGK all the way. If you've ever ran 2 strokes, you know what I mean.

I like NGK as well and suggest you keep one in on-board tool kit for unexpected surprises in the field

100% on the field extras. I've dealt with fouling plugs on quads for years and learned that lesson a long time ago.

As far as stihl goes, i went to stihl shop the other day for an extra field replacement for my saw and they handed me a nkg over the bosch original. Thanks for the feedback, tons of great info and ideas here on this site.

I agree 100%. I have been a 2 stroke guy all my life and wont run anything but NGK in any of my toys including the Ranger. In my small 4 stroke equipment the basic Champion plugs do just fine. I never bought into the "gimmicky" spark plugs. The old standards do just fine for me.

X2 NGK is the best in my opinion..... Had 2 strokes all my life and never had the problems with NGK as with other plugs......

I've had issues w/ NGKs in the sleds, but they were due to FI issues and/or misapplication. My folks have used Champions in their Polaris sleds (what they specify) & haven't had any plug problems.

Seastacker, "gimmicky" sums up these "other" plugs. The only non-conventional plugs I've known of that have been used in automotive applications were surface gap style. From my auto shop classes in the mid to late 70s, these plugs were used in cars w/ CD ignitions (Mopar?). Are there any newer vehicles using these plugs?
