Monza Exhaust & Insurance
« on: October 08, 2010, 06:30:38 PM »
Alrite,

Just went to AC Glasgow to hear the Monza Exhaust sounds fantastic!

However just called my insurer More Than to enquire about if i purchased the exhaust they are refusing to cover the car with the Monza, they stated that they would only cover the car with standard parts not amused.

Any advice for the best insurers out there?

Thanks

As Keith Richards tells it, Jones came up with the name "The Rollin' Stones" (later with the 'g') while on the phone with a venue owner. "The voice on the other end of the line obviously said, 'What are you called?' Panic. The Best of Muddy Waters album was lying on the floor—and track one was 'Rollin' Stone Blues'".

Admiral didnt give too hoots as it is an option from the manufac.  So it was no extra on premium for me.

Very interesting comments here, my insurer would not cover that. But that was when I did not mention it being a dealer fit option.

I'll ask again in the future (when funds allow though) and if I feel like doing it.

My last car had a custom exhaust made for it as the OEM box was £1745 and no pattern supplies else where. 

I phoned up my insurer and told them that the custom exhaust was a non standard Economical Repair/ Replacement of an original failed part. 

Their response was as almost as blunt as "Good for you"....

my insurance, even though a company one, is with norwich, and at first the monza was a problem, I just asked why as its a dealer extra and then they suddenly went " oh then thats ok "  :-\

I find with insurance companies you have to play hard ball with them and kindly point out they are not the only company out there  ;)
