in theory a backbox change should be okay but on a any map based ecu like the simtek there is no compensation for airflow changes as the ecu can only see manifold absolute pressure. Therefore if the exhaust is more efficent it will effect the airflow through the engine and require a map tweak.

when u say the simtek cant make allownces for airflow change, would that mean that cutting my esonator out or remoing it would also mean i need to change themap?

yes it might alter it but you are making minor changes so it would really just be worth getting it checked
