MattBrera,I have increased power and torque by fitting hi flow Catco metallic cats and a Supersprint exhaust system.I did before and after dyno tests and now have 211 engine kw's.The difference is incredible.Instant throttle response,and the car feels as if the gear ratios are half a gear lower.An Alfa dealer in Australia was stunned at the improvement,especially the torque.He commented that the 156GTA didn"t feel as if it had the same grunt and it was the gearing that was the reason the GTA felt more responsive.(ie the 3.2 Brera165kmh in 3rd gear and the 156GTA 120kmh?)I suggest your father explore this avenue and then get a custom remap and he will be more than happy with the Brera's performance and save 1000's dollars as well.
