TT Convert Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Are these a god mod? do they affect the inssurance much? I can get a brand new one delivered for about £140. Should it be done? Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Good mod for noise esp when coupled with a Plenum Spacer. Is the price just for the filter of the full filter and z-tube? If its the full kit thats a good price... Cant remember if the Nismo one comes with a Heat Shield.... Also, its best to add a bumber scoop to get more air in... Thats why the Typhoon is a good buy as it includes chrome tube, air filter, air filter box and then the kit to put the air scoop down in the front grill..... Quote

Ekona Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Ring them and ask them? Each insurer will be different: Some won't care and add nothing, some will hate you and add £200, and some will rape your face and refuse to insure you at all. Quote
RobD7 Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Yeah I've already been told for adding an induction kit my premium goes up! Quote
Ekona Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 I'd be amazed if ti didn't, it's by how much. Elephant took me for an extra £80, which is very reasonable considering it includes the inital 'OMFG your car is modded!!!11' premium increase. Everything else I've added hasn't touched the premium at all. Quote

TT Convert Posted June 30, 2008 Author Posted June 30, 2008 how much for single? they are £140 inc P&P from over the pond Quote
bigphil Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 £255 phil..........they've dropped alot........thought they were like £355 or £345 or summink -ho For some reason the prices on intakes and a few other items have been reduced in the past week. Single intakes are £160 delivered. Quote
GC350z Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Yeah I've already been told for adding an induction kit my premium goes up! Did you actually say to them induction kit or you wanted to change the intake? Quote
Lexx Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 best way to describe it to insurance is as a "non performance enhancing intake modification" Pretty much every mod I do I describe as that. And since the ECU dials out any actual gains, you aint lying to them. the Nismo dual sounds great too when coupled with a decent exhaust! Quote

And since the ECU dials out any actual gains, you aint lying to them. the Nismo dual sounds great too when coupled with a decent exhaust! I'd go with that too. Just tell them its an new air filter but doesnt effect performance Quote
