For Cats I can only reccommend HJS cats from Germany, had them for over 3 years on the previous D2 sailed through emissions every time, never corroded. I now have the same cats on the current car too. They are pricey at around £350 per cat, but in this case I think the lifetime warranty is iron-clad (pun intended).
In other words the Germans build so well you won't have to use the warranty
I've gone with C+C Custom Stainless Exhausts nr Glasgow. They have some good recommends and come out at around £525 for the pair in 304/316 grade S/steel - with warranty.
