Default do i need dual tipped spark plugs for a 97 es?

i know it's recommended to use double tipped spark plugs but i'm wondering if it'll do harm if i use single tipped NGK iridium plugs for my 97 es?

NGK idrium is prefectly fine(and u feel the diff), i have use the 4+ bosh before i dont think it help a lot or feel the diff.

NGK single Tip Idrium > Bosh 4 + > Bosh 2 tip

I'm using the denso iridium (single prong) plugs, and I haven't had any problems for years now.

Cool

No, you don't need dual tip plugs & I do not recommend them at all.
I recommend NGK 5553 's (BKR6ES-11) for stock engines.
