take the e3s back and get ngk iridiums. change your fuel filter and pour in a bottle of seafom(in the gas tank). you will notice a little boost in performance.

Not sure about the spark plugs but seafoam works wonders.

someone probably needed to get rid of some e3 stock. i havent heard anything good about them at all... havent heard much about them, but what i have heard, people dont like em.

You better use the seafoam before you put on a new exhaust. It does clean the engine but the result is a buildup of a camel-snot like substance in your exhaust.
