It's weird... I noticed the droning when my XJ had stock exhaust. It was a freaky weird growling noise exactly at 1700 RPM and only then. Seriously, less than 1650rpm and 1750rpm or higher, it doesn't do it... At least, I think it was exhaust noise. Someone else described something similar somewhere but I think they attributed it to transmission problems. Don't know. Anyway, it's pretty damn loud and drone-y at exactly 1700 RPM but past that it's not bad.

I drove 30 minutes on the interstate on the way back to school today, but I had my windows down and music on, so I didn't notice any droning.

Then I drove through my school's parking garage and holy ****... it sounds ****ing amazing.

Also, the video does not do it justice. It sounds crazy good.

For a larger spark to ignite a better flame front and burn the A/F more effectively. Champions.

Will create a weaker spark without upgrades to ignition. The stock gap is set where it is for a reason!

Yeah. That's where my plugs are gapped after 30,000 miles and they need replacing...... .035 on Champion Coppers or NGKs.

That pulls in hotter air than the stock air box did.

Whatever, man. I'm just trying to stop misinformation and prevent wasted money for people who see this.
