I basically e-mailed 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.

The clip i listened to sounded horrible. Not sure how different the tone would be on a Altima?

Imho, there are better sounding options out there...i e Borla etc..

No problem. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. So far the yeses have it. Keep it coming people. Many videos on youtube are available of the exhaust. Don't hate because it's currently only made and made available exclusively to the Pontiac G6! Also please realize, many people record on cheap cameras so if you have loud bass or hear crackly treble, it's mostly the cameras fault. These things get loud. I'm more in it for the performance than the sound of course.

Atm the poll is 5 for yes and 4 for no.

As Dr. Feelgood would say, put up or shut up. If the exhaust was built about 50% of the people who said they were interested would buy this. The 4 people who said no are definitely out. 2.5 to 4, looks like the NO's have it.

Lol sorry. I also didnt like the website for some reason it seemed a little to me.

Go with stillen, it sounds great and looks oh so sexxy.

They have a lot of claims of improving performance but where's the dyno?

I would have to agree. However this thread did catch my curiosity. I would not be the first one to buy it but I would think about it with some decent sound clips of it. Also some dyno charts trying to prove their claims.

Haha when I first read this, I was thinking about an actual Nissan GT-R exhaust. That could look pretty sick haha although wouldn't work.

And yeah... show me the money... show me the dyno. Anyone can increase performance... they could mean they got a .1 HP increase with their exhaust... it still counts as enhancing performance.

I also would not like an exhaust that sounds like dog poop. I will watch how this pans out.

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).

Product Page

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.

I see that you visit the the370z website Mcheddadi. You will love JDM stuff over there.

Japan welds are so beautiful as you can see in those pictures. The quality is so amazing too and that is why I kept a GReddy Titanium tip in my room just to stare at.

Amen to that!! they have soo much JDM stuff on the370z, makes me jealous. I really hope that there are some JDM nissan that have compatible stuff with our altima like the nissan teanna that Is believed to have the same chassis as our altima.

"Looks good. The next step is to find a car in our area to do the testing with. We would also have to schedule it along with the current projects we have going. Let us know if there's someone in our area that would be interested. Kind Regards,-SAM-Classic Performance"

do they use a Magnaflow muffler? if so, i think i might already have that exhaust lol i have a custom set-up, just bought a Magnaflow muffler from a local muffler shop and had them install it for me.... Artisan also uses a Magnaflow muffler but its a different design... the one i have is designed like this muffler and it looks like that one too but i couldnt clearly read what the muffler said (kinda of looked like it said magnaflow). if so then i have that exhaust on my car lol heres a clip of mine
