Hi John,
I've just done the same (ie brought ngk laser platinum for my Legacy). I set it at 0.7mm as it said in the manual and had this was comfirmed by the Subaru garage.
A bit expensive arn't they! The motor did seem to go quite a bit smoother after though.
Cheers Alex
PS Is yours an estate or saloon?

John,

Why don't you get an induction kit or a performance panel filter instead. The induction will give you the noise you are looking for without drilling holes and a few bhp.

Cheers

John, congratulations on your new job and name, this must be a challenge going from a fitter to a tech?

Cheers
