Yep, as the car is then modified from standard.

Another thing worth noting - when you add these to your insurance you'll usually pay an admin charge. So you'll be better off doing them all in one go rather than adding one thing now and another down the line - it might mean waiting a bit longer, but I think admin charges are usually about £30 - £40, so it could be worth it.

Hi,

How much extra would they charge, typically, if you added a K&N induction kit?

Cheers

Depends on who you are with really, with us often it would not even make any difference depending on what underwriter we have you with (unless you are adding it part way through in which case you would normally be charged an admin fee as Tom pointed out, with us thats normally £25.00).

OK, thanks. I may get a quote with you when my insurance runs out next year. It wasn't the cheapest this time around but maybe next year will be different.
