Are these still 120bhp?
Becuase i raced one for the 3rd time last week (when my car was standard) and he was only just pulling away from me... So im guessing now ive had the exhaust done, it should be pretty level

the 1st one i raced, i just thought, ''argh, maybe it isnt running right''
Then the 2nd one, i thought, ''maybe another not runnig right!''
But this is the 3rd one now, so it made me think the old ones are alot slower than the new ones.

a standard VTS WILL beat your corsa sport with just an exhaust.

For a START - there is no later model 130 bhp bullshit. Just some made more power than others.
Secondly it always seems like 'Wow it's not pulling away too quickly' - just because that's what it looks like - its an illusion.
Also at higher speeds there shouldn't be much in it.
Finally don't forget about driver etc.
Get your car to the pod and prove yourself 
I was at pod recently when I just had exhaust filter and was doing 15.3's where other VTS's / 106 gti's there were still doing mid 16's 
Sly_Sri had a dbilas inlet manifold, exhaust system and induction and my standard gti still pull away from him.
