There is no built-in way to remove or change the 'Virtualbox' from the hardware designations. You would need to change the source code and build Virtualbox yourself. And since the Extension Pack provides webcam pass-through and is closed source, you would not be able to change names that the EP places or fix incompatibilities between your build and the EP.
