bit of inside the industry info here,
dont spend a fortune on sports cats, they are massively over priced for what they are. at the same time ignore some of the cheap ebay sheisty ones.
I sell a few sports cat options depending on engine and exhaust bore size, never had 1 fail an MOT for emissions, even as low as a 100 cell cat!
let me know the bore size you want and I will get you a price. (most come in at £158)

170 lb/ft as standard 
Should easy see over 200 lb/ft with a remap.
