No. Would sound too suspect, what with the insurance assessor just having called. It's only a backbox - it's their insurance paying out - you'll be fine.

you sure? because they would look for a way not to pay out! and if their insurer says i have an aftermarket exhaust, and my insurance aren't aware im fucked right? But why would he take pictures of the rear of the car? and the number under the bonnet

wouldnt bother mate may mate rolled his car because of a woman pulling out on him. never declared his 17 wheels and other bits but the other company still paid out. tbh not much point just for aback box at all.
plus as far as your aware it was standard and you bought the car lie that

if he crashed into you it doesnt matter about your mods.
you'll be alright, if you crashed into him it would be a different matter though.

i didn't declare some mods on my old corsa, but because it was the other parties fault, my insurance company allowed me to put mods on my policy (wheels and exhaust) for a bit more money.

mate dont worry about it, just leave it or it will look suspicious. tbh the pugsport is only a 2'' rolled out tip so looks as if it could be standard to most people.... just say you had no idea....
also the pugsport is made by scorpion but they were made for Peugeot rallying so it is really a Peugeot exhaust i guess....
dont ring them up it will make it worse...
just play dumb, ive heard of people getting away with engine changes and just say they didnt know about it and got away with it so im sure the backbox wont make a diff!
