Can I ask why would you want to do that? Are you testing something? Did someone suggested that?

It's not a usual thing to do, that's why I'm asking, trying to make sure that you know why and what you're doing.

OK, as long as you realize that it's typically not recommended, and it's a procedure usually used to narrow down an issue (is it the main program's fault, or the GAs' fault?) then, you can find them at https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/, just pick your version, and for each version there is a GAs ISO you can download. For your example for 5.1.16, you should go to:
