A bike can should work OK. If it's a crossflow you shouldn't need a cat

I've got a carbon R1 can on my 1.4 K series. I fitted it post-SVA. if you were to use the same, apart from probably having to get a reducer to connect up with the existing pipework you will need to get/make an SVA-friendly end pipe.

Bear in mind that R1 cans are quite restrictive - it was definately noticable when I removed mine form my x-flow car and swapped it for a straight through can. There's a reason that there are so many on eBay - the bikes gain about 10bhp when they swap the can for a race one.

My new car has an R1 can, but I cut the end off and removed the baffle tubes and replaced them with a straight through perforated tube surrounded with wire wool and fibreglass wadding. It's a bit noisier, but lets the engine breathe much better. It's a fairly easy operation - only took me an hour or so.
