Rang up direct line tonite to see about fitting the new firestorm back box I ordered, they say I have to pay an extra £127 quid on top of my premium, as it might add about 5bhp to the car, I tried to explain that it wont make any real world difference to the car. It's an 02 Wrx Sti, they say this is a standard price for any mods that increase the power from 1-10% what a load of crap.

At the mo I am paying about £1200 on the STI, I am 25 with 5 years ncd.

Any advice on this ie, what can I say to them to reduce the cost or I am screwed.

Cheers Jdub

change insurer or pay the price.

Great advice Phil cheers.

sorry mate but that's the way these crap insurance companies work. they will not reduce it no matter what you say about your exhaust. go to a specialist that understands mods and they will not hit your premium because of a backbox.

Greenlight and A-Plan are flashing away at you on this forum and both would see this I'm sure as a miniscule mod. Assuming they insure under 30's.

looks like I will have to pay it and change to a different company next year, after being on the phone and net for hours direct line were the only company to give me a decent quote for a jap import sti, even with the add on for the back box its still better than all the insures quotes I got with out one and direct line are meant to be quite good when it comes to making a claim, so I guess I will have to count my blessings for now, a back box is pretty much all the performance mods I am gonna do in the next year, Any way whats an extra £20 a month for that flat four rumble!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers guys.
