Just put the NGK Irid plug in

Just put the NGK Irid plug in, and the 3K rpm drone has dropped a bit to a comfortable level. It sounds sweet and deep inside the car even when the radio is off. I hope it will stay on. The drone inside the box has annoyed me for 10K miles. Thanks God anyway.

I didn't say the drone is gone.. It just drop a bit and it is more comfortable now. I think the drone has something to do with the sparkplug if they are old. The stock plugs are all covered by dirt and light brown deposit @ 15K miles. So I think the new plug just resume the optimum stage of combustion.

check the air filter, deposits might be leaking in.
