FWIW, Denso is OEM, although, you could proably get them cheaper than just telling the dealership to replace them. Call and ask them thier price on their plugs and confirm they are Denso.

TRD has SPs too, although, not sure their manufacture....

Noticed them in a second....Rev's feel more solid and seems to have a quicker bite when down shifting and such. I'd say 3-4 hp

I also bough tthe ND Ir plugs from the guy on ebay, he was good to do business with... The numbers was different from the ND Iridium plugs that came out of the cas, so not sure what the difference was.

They are a breeze to install, 30 minutes no problem.

Remove the Sway Bar
Remove the Engine Cover
You will then see the coilpacks on top of each plug, they are held in with one 10mm bolt, remove the wiring harness and remove the bolt to slide the coil packs out.
You now have access to the Plugs, use a 5/8's SParkPlug socket and you got it.
