So your insurance company let you put on an induction kit (which may aid performance slightly) but they won't let you add a backbox which will not

Backbox is defo the easiest and cheapest way! Some people drill their airbox and put in a K&N/Pipercross Panel Filter, will sound good and won't let in hot air like your induction kit will.
