    This looks like the post that was on another forum.

    I'de just like to point out that even if something is legal - it doesn't mean that the regular insurance companies don't like it. For example, aftermarekt intakes can be legal, but most insurance companies would cancel you or deny your claim if they found out you had one.

    Yeah, technically you have to inform your insurance companies of any modifications made to the vehicle, and they'll drop you like a hot potato for power adders or even such trivial things as a set of mild lowering springs.

    Then you end up having to pay the outrageous rates for facility insurance.

    It's a stupidly unfair system by insurance companies who can't be bothered to determine what's safe and legal and what isn't.
