Honestly, insurance companies consider pretty much anything but stock parts as performance mods. It should be in their interest to do a bit of research and give you a definitive answer, perhaps call them again as yours seem quite relaxed!

Or even see if they can talk to one of the underwriters. The agent on the phone said that their definition of ‘performance exhaust’ is one that increases flow rate and causes a bhp increase. So they just said just make sure it doesn’t cause a bhp increase. A resonator delete however only ever so slightly increases bhp because there is slightly less restriction on exhaust.
Just declare it as a mod.
It's not a performance mod.Why even bother if its such a hassle just for more (annoying to everyone else) noise, or change insurance company to one more competent?
It's annoying at 6am when some chav down the road wakes me up with his exhaust.Hmmmmm, V6, V8, V10, straight 5..... they all sound musical. VAG 4 pots have to be the dullest sounding engines ever, but what ever floats yo' boat I guess!
