If I stick a KN Air filter into my car will I have to inform my insurance?
Currently with Directline...

Also best cheapest source for a K&N?

I'd say phone them and ask... but you are best to tell them either way though, anything that counts as a modification can potentially invalidate your insurance...

as for cheap? eBay does them, around £32 was the cheapest i could find...

Marsdendean I wouldn't bother as its an air filter, same place as the normal filter goes and does not really improve anything ??!

I trust you've mentioned the charger to your insurance company, Dean? :biggrin:

Am I best just sticking normal air filter in, no increase in perfomance or mpg with a KN?

karlp Am I best just sticking normal air filter in, no increase in perfomance or mpg with a KN?

Think you do get a fairly small increase, someone said something like 2-3bhp and a touch better mpg, though I can't remember offhand...

Not got one myself though, so can't honestly answer the question.

And apologies for pushing your thread a touch :topic:
