From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 259.6bhp to 401.2bhp and this would take a lot more than just bolting on a massive exhaust and adding a go faster stripe.
For serious power hikes like this you would need to look at rebores, porting and polishing and add into the mix a hefty dose of forced induction.
If you have a lower powered Zafira your best bet for a mod would be an engine swap with the 236bhp Zafira VXR. The more powerful Zafiras respond exceptionally well to tuning mods.
