Full Through

[S2 PTH]

SHOULD I GET A FULL THROUGH?

or a back box or nothing? in the interests of insurance, how will it be effected with either. I know that a full through will give me more power, but if it increases the insurance by more than £50-80 then i may aswell get a backbox...

can someone lay down the pros and cons for me plz!

Most insurance companies dont charge any extra for filter / exhaust.

Im with adrian flux, havent told them about any of my mods other than alloys, also got exhaust system, filter, lowered, front bumper rear spoiler soon to have skirts and rear bumper.

Ive been in 2 accidents and theyve paid up both times no hassel, plus they are still giving me a low quote!

go for a decat if you are looking for an increase in power, if youre just after looks and noise, stick with getting a backbox

On such a small capacity engine you wont notice much of a gain with either system so its entirely up to you and your budget.

hmmmmmm, thing is, i dont want it sounding like a vauxhall nERva! full thru gives u that powerful sound, whereas some back boxes just sound like broken exhausts. decat wud be good, but isnt it illegal? i spose i cud just remove the exhaust completely from above the cat,- that wud sound good,..no?
