You're not implying the V1 is worthless, are you?

Popularity also comes with performance.

While I agree that many popular things are awful (see anything Kardashian)
Popularity does not equate to worthlessness.

FI is a very popular exhaust and, definitely not worthless.

I was implying nothing other than the idea that popularity may or may not be correlated with performance. That's all. Many radar detectors do well -- Valentine and Escort each make excellent products.
