Hi, a few months ago I got my xr21 8v tuned at a rolling road and it showed 108bhp peek.
Since then I have adde a K&N panel filter & magnex back box. Is it worth getting car re tuned ? Thanx for any advice. Tikkum

It's not really worth it as you wont see much difference with only an air filter and back box. To make a difference you need the whole exhaust system including the manifold.

I have just purchased a fully magnex cat back system with a 4" inwardly rolled tailpipe for my escort gti, had it fitted and it isn't very loud at all just burbles (which is nice). I think i need to get a de-cat pipe for it.
With the exhaust and de-cat and an induction kit what bhp gain would i get???(1.8 16v)

You wont get much of difference. Naturaly aspirated cars do not get big BHP gains from an exhaust and airfilter.
De-catting your car might help a wee bit, but some cars will actually run worse without it on and you will fail the MOT.

To get any power gains from an exhaust, (on a naturaly aspirated engine), you need the manifold and complete system.
