If yes, did they help, hinder, or make not a heap of a difference in performance? I'm getting ready to do the 100,000 mile maintenance and was thinking of trying Splitfires but figured I'd check here first. Dave Keller 1995 Contour SE (no mods, yet)

The double plats are by far the best choice for the 2.5L Traded in - 2000 SVT Black tan leather DMD, Pro-Flow 75mm MAF, SHO Shop Intake Mystery mod(awaiting installation) Now 2004 Acura RSX Type S 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid

They ran great for a couple months, and then I started having bucking and hesitation in high RPM's. I replaced them with double-platinum Autolites (APP-764) and the car has run perfectly ever since.
