yes mate, even if it doesnt change the price of the policy every mod has to be declared otherwise if you have a crash with mods not declared the insurance can refuse to payout

a majority of backboxes wont do shizzle anyway - except probably make your car sound crap and ridiculously loud

It shouldnt do much to your insurance, or to your car really, lol. And if it does effect your insurance it will only be about £30 or something ridiculous. My mate had to pay £10.11 for an air filter and alloys on his insurance. Quinn are quite good with mods as well.

Just make sure you ring them and say "your looking to put this on" as if they say it will invalidate your insurance then you have the chance to remove it". Chances are they will just add another 20-50 quid on your policy. But the rule is declare everything

At the end of the day you dont want to end up paying out to repair some 50grand merc which you wrote off because you couldnt be arsed to declare something that will add another few quid a year to the insurance
