Carnewal Exhaust - Insurance Notification

[Tiggsy]

having just had the system fitted by Gert....what do people tell their insurance companies? The system is a modified standard exhaust so how do I explain that? Or is it even noticeable from the outside/relevant???

I had the carnewal exhaust put on, told my insurance company (Admiral) they asked if it resulted in power gains, I said no (which it doesnt). They gave me two options 1. The premium is unaffected but the aftermarket exhaust would not be covered if damaged, and 2. Pay a £20 extra to have all aftermarket mods covered. I went for option 2. Hope that helps.

If ever there was a modification that you could 'get away with' not declaring, this is it.

Even the best insurance investigator would only see a standard Porsche exhaust, with the original part number stamped on.

Depends whether you want to have it covered for replacement or not really.

I think that's what he's saying, yes.

What do you think of the exhaust so far Tiggsy?

Would be interested in your initial impressions as it's modification I will consider if I decide to keep my car much longer.
