Honda has installed both NGK and Denso from the factory. Some people have gone with the Denso Iridium plugs. The stock plugs work very well for the stock application. Some who have the Iridiums say they work better, some say they can not tell the difference. They cost a lot more than the stock plugs.
What specifically are you looking for in a plug?

I'm looking for the iridium ones. I heard they have the temperature number, like 7, 8, 9. But I don't what that means.

I see most owners here using Denso Iridium IK22 or IK24. Do a search on "iridium" and you'll see lots of info about them and what the heat range means.

Have never heard of Halo plugs.

I have use NGK, denso...both the hotter and colder what ever numbers they are 24 and something else , Zex nitrous plugs...autolite and Champion.
Wow thats a lot of plugs in ten months. I run nitrous and do alot of test and tuning with my vafc. One day I fouled a plug it was a sunday so I just wanted to get any plug to get my baby up and running that day....I went to Napa and picked up some Champions! Wow I aggressivly gapped the plugs and my car had a noticeable louder exhaust tone and pulled hard in the mid range area. I have been using The champions for three months. 8 bucks for a set of four and they have outperformed the other more expensive plugs in cold starts and all out performance. I am still in shock. Some times expensive stuff is just expensive and nothing else.
