i had a piper decat on my 1.4 sport...

made a fair bit of difference when combine with induction kit i reckon, gave it a lot more pull top end.

sold it cos i can't be arsed with switching etc for MOT cos i start uni soon and might not have time.

i think a sports cat may be best if you can afford
