Stepdown Radio - suppressors needed?

    HI guys

    Are spark plug suppressors needed on stepdowns with the standard radio fitted or do the radios have some suppressor system built in? Radio sounds not bad at all as it is, so just wondering if suppressors are actually needed or not to get the best sound possible from the old radio, thanks.

    If the car had one it would have been on the generator and would look like a ignition condensor.

    Only use supressors as needed, if you have no ignition, generator, tire or guage noises in the radio, you don't need any.
