Default Declearing induction kit

Just about to renew my S2000 car insurance on a price comparison site, thinking of fitting a induction kit so when adding this as a modification would it be classed as a different air filter

Personally I wouldn't bother with such a minor modification. However it is recommended that you declare any modifications for insurance reasons. Its your choice, do you like to live dangerously (punk, do ya)?

Tommy, before I went F/I I had a K&N induction kit, PLM manifold & DMS exhaust declared & they made no difference to my insurance.

Same for me, K&N and Blue Flame exhaust and no extra cost with Admiral.

Personally I would always declare mods; it wouldn't be a great day out if your car gets written off and the third party's insurance won't pay owing to an undeclared mod.

I always declare all my modifications. Most of the time it lowers the insurance premium for me!

Try Sky Insurance, Adrian Flux, Brentacre and Greenlight. All very competitive!

I'd say always declare everything, it's not worth the risk by not doing it.

I've just insured my new S2000 with Sky Insurance, with the induction kit and Coilovers declared it made a tiny difference - about £20 for the year!

I've also declared the braided hoses, lower and upper braces and even wheel colour change to be safe!

You need to be with an insurance company that understands cars........................... Not just insurance.
