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???

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

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.
very pleased - potter about and its no different. give it some and its very nice.....but not stupidly so.
