So standard the GTI is 130 BHP but if i was to put the hi flow manifold and de-cat pipe on how much would anyone say i'd gain??

Current mods .. K&N Panel, adjustable shock and springs, Tarox Multi grooved discs + pads, brand new michelin tyres all round, large bore exhaust but with one box + tail pipe (as I dont wanna sound like a CHAV)

Got the handling read for more power but just dont know whether i'd be worth it and how much power i'd actually gain from the maifold and de-cat pipe?

Any input would be brilliant

the standard gti is 115 not 130, and if your chasing better power I would get shot of the escort and step up to the ST etc as the mods you have stated may only get you up to 130ish
