APEXI N1 or SKUNK2 Mega Power?

Just wanted a general idea on peoples opinions?

i am no where near an expert when it comes to cars so forgive me if i sound stupid, but the skunk2 1 as im aware needs a decat as my car is uk spec. Note: this exhaust is Jap-spec, so if your car is not an import, you will require the JDM-sized decat
so obviously id buy the decat. but when it comes to the mot would i havto buy a jdm style cat?

also, if i wanted to decat the N1 would it be a jdm decat or uk spec?

my car is an ej9 btw, i assume both these would fit?

any help is much appreciated.
