Mr Tyre in Mansfield on Chesterfield Rd down stainless steel exhaust systems and that seems about right.
Rather then an induction kit your best off going for a replacement air filter i.e. a K&N one. But an induction kit which isn't enclosed and not shielded from engine heat and not properly fed cold air isn't really gonna help your engine out or give you any power.
With a stainless steel exhaust and induction kit you would be lucky to get more then 3bhp on your car with it being a 1.4. It will just feel a lil quicker for a lil while and sound quicker 
Your car at the end of the day so it's upto you what you do 
Cheapest place for filters is http://www.potn.com

Usually the standard airbox design is ok so just replace standard filter as already suggested. Cheaper than an induction kit too. Induction kits sound and look nice though.

It is Matty yeah.
but Ive had a few problems with em when they did mine, and a mate of mine had problems with them too, they charged him for fitting a centre section, he got it home, looked uderneath and the standard one was still on. They fitted the stainless one, but why try and rip people off in the first place.
