SS Inductions and Insurance?

[Y2kGoofball]

Hey all ...

does fitting of an SS inductions "Growler" air induction kit affect insurance?

I'm seriously considering installing one on the wannabe (the VX SS V6 for those who dont know what the wanna be is!), I realise that for the price I wont get any more power out of it but I reckon it'd be fun to install one and surely its gotta help with fuel economy (or do something for its money) but I cant afford to do anything to the car thats going to affect (up the price of) insurance, or void it in a prang (obviously)

also are K+N panel filters compatible with the SS inductions or do you have to buy their brand?

Just looking at some modification options for the junior beastie that wont affect insurance... feel free to throw in any suggestions (apart from the obvious like exhaust :errr: )

Instead of flushing your money down the dunny give it to me.

Yeah, I had one of these on my Old VS V6 and I should have put the money towards a few cases of beer for the weekend.

Made no difference at all.

really ... that bad ay?

Umm yeah, you won't get much positive comments about them on here.

Save your money.

I cant believe that people still wanna buy SS crapduction products

SS reductions products I dont think you would have to inform insurance as they are actually slowing your car down??

Yes. They will send you for a psychiatric examination to check for mental defects.

It's a fair whack of $$ to spend on an intake for a V6 - especially considering any gains would be negligible compared to a home-modded standard intake.

[vyssbeast]

on that note, the home-modded standard intake
assuming you mean the 2-hole mod...
im getting a tune done soon (mafless) and asked about the 2-hole mod see if he can do it for me, he said he would for $60, which includes the hole as well as a 'trumpet' leading to not sure where exactly ...
i know ill get told that i can do it myself it'll cost me nothing
but i like getting things done right and professionally and i know there isnt $60 worth in the job but is this something forum sponsers would normally charge for?

Different insurance companies allow different mods. Only way you can be sure is to ask whoever insures it. I play safe and have all my mods listed on the policy (AAMI), even the K&N filter. Exhaust mods, edit, K&N, lowered, rims have all made no difference to the premium.

Most would allow it, especially on a V6, but it should be a "listed" modification, especially one so obvious, to avoid dramas if the car has a prang. Most people will tell you to stay away from that brand (on here anyway), but I've heard their product quality has improved over the early versions, and ultimately it's your money. Unless you do PCM and exhaust modifications, I doubt you would gain anything though. I'd suggest that is SS Inductions main issue, rubbery dyno gains from single mods in their advertising.
