This is the first import i've ever had so i have to do some research on a possible intake, but i leased the car so i'm a little concerned about the warranty and that i'll be stuck with the parts when the lease is up.
Absolutely spectacular. Worth every penny. I've never gotten a moving violation in my 3+ years of owning her(I usually do 20 over or so, except for one time when I did 110 from the Mass border to Syracuse. Made it in 1:30
), and I've sent it in for one factory upgrade at like $80. Other detectors may have slightly better range (I think two do), but the directional arrows of the Valentine are worth the extra price. Besides, what's the difference betwene detecting radar at 2 miles versus 3 miles? Plenty of time to slow down.
Just keep in mind that the V1 is a tool and not an end all be all...you can't do 130 all day and expect to not get caught. My driving habits have changed so much since I've gotten it...I'm so aware of how fast to go in towns versus on highways and where cops are likely to set up undetectable traps.
