Radar Detector or Exhaust ?

[GTI POLO]

Thats an easy question...

I would go exhaust no questions asked..

reasons why..

1. We were travelling to Summernats, my mate in the car ahead had a Radar detector. We were travelling in a convoy doing about 160-180km/h.. If he slows down, we slow down etc etc.. He had the radar detector.. Out of the trees comes a cop car flashing lights, he nabbed one of the cars in our convoy, (we got away).. I rang my mate.. what happened to the radar detector? "oh it didnt beep". useless

2. I have been driving on a provisional 2 point good behaviour license for 6 months now. another 6 months to go before my full license is reinstated.. The reason why I have not been caught yet?

Im not getting caught because im not speeding anymore.

Just dont speed and you wont get caught.

Get the exhaust.

I don't get radar detector detectors. my thoughts are. Radar sends various microwaves EM spectrum the signal that comes back is Doppler shifted from the Doppler shift (and an easy equation) one finds out car speed then electronics in camera say take photo or not. So radar detector only needs to detect these EM spectrum and NOT send anything. so can't be detected.

laser traps work by trigger pulled IR laser light is fired TIME is measured for beam to return and the time the pulse takes to get out and back = car speed = man stepping in front of car = me saying police man tried to commit suicide (a.) he knew I was speeding and (b.) he still jumped out in an unsafe way. (ps this excuse doesn't work). again laser IR detectors do not send anything so can't be detected.

The laser jammers I know of are about 4 IR LEDs around the number plate and some near the headlights (hmm someone should replace the Audi r8 LEDS with IR ones) these LEDS work by. 1- police man pulls trigger and instantly gets a reading. guns says this is impossible car is going at the speed of light and gives error. how good this is I don't know you can use your mobile phone camera to "see" the IR from LEDS really great. but if police person uses his mobile Darn .. caught ! maybe you just say I have a better torch than yours!! you can also get some Veil to buy you more time!!

Talk to Dijon Great bloke will show you his HID set up on his Audi and the radar upgrade. he is a great bloke .. and will know people that have the radar systems and have used veil oh and bring him a bottle of RED

Happy driving

Some of you are missing a vital point: the Beltronics STI is not detectable! And it's meant to be one of the best detectors around for all types of speed cameras/radars.
