K40 Radar Detectors


Im not endorsing the company here, just some ppl asked if they will actually go through and pay for my ticket and yeah I got the check!

Im not gonna go into details of where why and how.

I bought a K40 RL100 Radar detector for $350.

K40 is the only company that will pay for your ticket if you were ever to get one.

It will pay for unlimited amount of tickets within the first year!

The way I got pulled over is because the police officer kept his radar off up until the car is very close. They use that tactic a lot and no radar detector can save you from it.

I sent in all the paper work and 10 days later I got a check in the mail!

if that was the case then the thing would cost thousands since everyone would buy them haha cuz it'd be impossible to lose your licence for speeding related offenses

How do you like that takeda cai? notice and difference when accelerating? How's the throttle response? Sound?

Take my word buy the descendant exhaust the quality of the exhaust is amazing I'm glad I waited and purchased this exhaust the sound is amazing it's loud when it needs to be and quiet when I want I love it. With my exhaust and cai the throttle response us amazing Much better than stock.

I think the gold/bronze you are thinking of is the Fujita CAI prototype that AKAIK is still not in production.

On the Takeda, I'm curious about how it does, that huge elbow to get under the battery seems... odd. Air moving in a straight line on these CAIs is usually the way to go, more bends = less POWAH lulz

Helping Scion202 install the intake, I wasn't impressed with its build quality. It sure as hell sounds nice though, and power delivery seemed smooth, but I didn't drive myself.
