Is it possible just to get the backbox changed so I can get that flat 4 rumble, but not up the bhp as to upset my insurance?

You won't get much bhp increase with just changing the back box any way mate, so just go for one that makes the sound you like the most

Would i have to tell my insurance though?

Anyone have some recommendations for backbox's ?
Want something to give the Flat4 sound, but not deafening/annoying!

Backbox alone shouldn't affect your insurance regardless

I changed the back box on mine pretty much straight away, I did so partly because the original was rotted to crap.

Negotiated no increase in insurance when I informed them
