NGK Iridium IX Spark Plug – BR8EIX (Stock No. 5044)
This NGK Iridium IX plug uses a very fine iridium tip to produce a strong, stable spark. It helps cold starts, reduces misfires, and resists fouling, especially in engines that run hard or at high revs. It lasts longer than standard copper plugs thanks to the tough iridium centre electrode.
You may not see a big power gain, but you can expect smoother running and more consistent performance over time.
- Fine-wire iridium tip for reliable ignition and clean burn
- Resistor design to reduce electrical noise (helps protect ECU and sensors)
- Durable in high-heat, high-load use

For emissions components this encompasses noise, emissions and balanced back pressure, which have a strong influence on maintaining engine performance (power), and fuel efficiency. Type approval ensures that an aftermarket component will reach, or exceed the performance standard of the corresponding OE part.
Type-approval then, is a certain guarantee that an end user will receive a product of OE equivalent performance attributes.
Products on the Progressive Parts website that meet this approval will be clearly marked or labelled EC or ECE approved.
