Just found out my insurance won't insure me with my full stainless steel exhaust so need to change it to a normal one anybody any idea how much this wiil cost?

[happy-kat]

perhaps more than changing insurer

you might get lucky see if someone would do a swap?

what is your system and how long has it been fitted and is it the whole length including manifold?

[nacho gal]

i hope it won't be more than changing insurers as i got a really good deal with direct line as i'd been a named driver on one of thier policies and no other insurer came anywhere close. About all i know about my exhuast is it's magnex i think it's a full system and it was bought in september of 2004 so i can only assume thats when it was fitted.

[P7 TNY]

would insurers ever know ????

[happy-kat]

as it is a Magnex does it have a neat back box or is it the flavour which is like a mini dustbin?

have you asked them in what way they wont cover it?
you have the 'insurance is not valid at all'
'we will cover the changed part'
and the
'we will only replace the changed part with a standard item in the event of'.

only depeding on what their line actually is might help you know what to do, if they do the last one get it in writing


but don't take my word for it I do not work in insurance

[nacho gal]

no not until i have an accident and then they say that am not covered bit scared wih things like that esp when last year someone decided to turn in front of me for no apperant reason and write my car off.

i got the we won't cover it at all whatever type of exhaust cos your under 25, and in my opinion i'd say it's the one that looks like a mini dustbin, don't really like it that much do like the sound it makes though haha.

[happy-kat]

'we wont cover it at all'

the exhaust or your whole poilicy?

[nacho gal]

i was just told they wouldn't cover it as i was under 25 maybe they just meant the exhaust but i have a feeling it was the whole policy prob worth checking out though cheers

[happy-kat]

worth knowing before you drive around in your car

[mjc83]

gutted , if i lived closer id come across and swap with u looking for a new exhaust system, hope you get it all sorted

[nacho gal]

I reckon it's less than that.... Think i could do it 50-55mins ish. Depends where in Peterborough i guess, but Lough is really easy from M1.

Cheers puma nurse but i've been speaking to my very helpful brother who works in a garage and they'll be able to do it for me quite a bit cheaper Å“230 sounds alot. So if anyone wants a magnex cat back mine will probably be for sale very soon
