Default Declaring mods??

Right fitted an HKS to RB5 322 recently so phoned my insurance company to add it on to the policy. It is now added as a modification. I am now looking at getting a de-cat downpipe fitted do i need to tell them about this or is it the same as having an aftermarket exhaust?
Also i have an HKS VTA dump valve should this be declared aswell cos my car has a dump valve as standard juast that this one vents to air?

everything needs to be declared no matter how trivial you think it is

I have had this debate about a de-cat on here before as people said it would void my insurance. So I therefore rang my insurance company informing them I want to remove the cats and wanted to know if it would make a difference to my cover. Esure informed me it will make no difference to my insurance however i must realise the car might not pass its next MOT, which I knew anyway. To be on the safe side, I would call them and just let them know. That way you know you are covered and dont have to worry should the worse happen and you need to claim

better to declare everything at once. I have even declared things I aint done yet, but will do in the next couple of months, better to be safe than sorry.
