http://classic4performance.com/ directly about obtaining the specialized GT-R exhaust made specifically for the Pontiac G6 (my friend owns a Pontiac G6,) and asked if it could be made for the Altima coupe.
Here was their response:
"Our goal is to build an exhaust system suited to perform with the characteristics of the vehicle. Which requires lots of testing, as we go beyond what all other exhaust manufacturers do, which is to simply build a bigger piped exhaust systems. Our GTR exhaust for the Pontiac G6, incorporates a unique baffling design within the muffler that allowes us to control lower rpms flow, so that the car does not lose torque in the lower rpms which is where it is most needed, then in the upper rpms allows for full flow, which allows max horsepower in the upper rpms. We would need a test vehicle in which we could perform testing and then design a system made specifically for it. We would also need to know how much interest there would be, in order to make it cost effective for us. If you can provide us with more informtion, we'd be happy to look into this. Kind Regards, Classic Performance"
I would rather this over a nismo catback, but they need to see some interest. The person I know that owns the Pontiac G6 told me all about the website. Do some research before making an educated opinion of course. This guy is a professional. Look him up people.
So let's get this started. Everyone that visits this please take a moment to vote! It takes a mere second of a click. I need to forward this on to Classic4Performance.
Altima Coupe owners may have a nice new performance part.
seriously, I'd like some high quality exhaust with proper R&D.
SACLAM exhaust; Y pipe. Run-up to 5K rpms.Saclam invested a lot of research into resonating sound waves and air flow. According to their results, this design, actually provides functionality and sound to Saclam's standards (which are high standards).

the HUGE resonators up front are what cures the drone, and the extra piping out back prevents the loss of backpressure.
For N/A applications, you need backpressure to prevent the loss of torque in free flowing exhausts. If you have too much though, then you will lose power. Think of it as a glass of red wine a day. In moderation, its actually good for you, but in excess its not. Horsepower and torque are both important IMO, and not just horsepower.
If Classic Performance can make an exhaust that doesn't drone and that sounds killer like this, people will buy it. for now the only exhaust with enough R&D are the Tanabe one and ,from what we've seen, the Greddy Spectrum Elite that's going to come out.
