i use the TR6. I dont know why, it sounds good and looks good too!

No, actually that is what two shops recommended but I think the TR55's would be just fine.

If your not going to spray any, then run the tr55. If you plan to spray at all, then run the tr6. I run tr55 right now, but will go to the tr6 when I put my kit on it.

tr55 = normally aspirated
tr6 = nitrous/forced induction - colder plug

iridiums = waste of money
copper TR55's = not a waste of money
